What PS5 games do we know will be there?

As of this writing, Sony’s only confirmed game at the show is Wolverine, which will kick off the showcase. Insomniac’s latest superhero game is coming to PS5 on September 15, so this will probably be the beginning of a big marketing push as the game nears launch.

What third-party games might be at the State of Play?

According to Bloomberg, Sony sent out an internal update earlier this week stating that its future first-party narrative-driven titles would no longer be launching on PC and will remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles. This likely means that while multiplayer titles like Helldivers 2 or Marathon will continue to be released and receive support on PC, any experience along the lines of Ghost of Yotei or the upcoming Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will be console through and through. This shift in strategy has been rumoured for some time after releases like Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet and Clan
