How Long Is Sony’s June 2026 State Of Play?
State of Plays vary in duration, and while an exact runtime hasn’t been announced, it’s been confirmed to be over an hour long!
The showcase will even be screened in select Alamo Drafthouse cinemas across the US, with listings suggesting a 90-minute runtime. While that’s likely just to help attendees manage expectations—and the event probably won’t actually run that long—if it comes anywhere close, it could end up being the longest State of Play ever!
It’s clear that there’s going to be a lot showcased at this event, but what exactly can you expect? We’ve got it all broken down below.
What Games Will Appear At Sony’s June 2026 State Of Play?

So far, only one game has had its appearance confirmed for the State of Play, and it’s none other than Marvel’s Wolverine.
The latest adventure in Insomniac’s growing Marvel universe is coming out on September 15, 2026, and Sony is kicking the show off with an in-depth look at new gameplay and details for Wolverine. It’s likely this segment could last upwards of 15 minutes (though that’s pure speculation), leaving what is likely to be another hour of trailers and announcements still to follow.
One game that seems likely to appear is Fairgame$, the multiplayer heist game. Sony recently trademarked the game Break In, and many are speculating that it could be a rebranding for Fairgame$. It seems all too likely given the timing, but nothing has been confirmed.
As for other reveals, the possibilities are truly endless, as Sony has confirmed that we will be hearing from “top studios from around the world.” As always, temper your expectations, but here’s a list of titles that could appear at the showcase, be it updates or announcements:
All of those aren’t even considering the unknown that’s yet to be revealed. Some studios have long been in the dark; could we finally learn what Media Molecule, Bend Studios or Team Asobi are up to? Time will tell, but fans are hoping for a major showcase, and the cards are in PlayStation’s hands.
