Sony’s State of Play leans on Wolverine as PS5 output questions linger

Sony held its latest State of Play on June 2, and the presentation was scheduled to run for more than 60 minutes. The showcase was positioned as a major summer event, with Marvel’s Wolverine confirmed as the headline game and Insomniac Games set to show combat gameplay and new details. videogameschronicle.com

The timing lands against a tougher backdrop for PlayStation’s first-party pipeline. Sony’s first-party game sales declined for five straight years before a small uptick in 2025, and that improvement was helped by Ghost of Yotei. The broader trend points to slower output from Sony’s biggest studios this console generation. videogameschronicle.com

The decline has been tied to long development cycles and the fallout from Sony’s live-service push, which cannibalized years of development time on projects that were ultimately canceled or flopped. Sony’s first-party game sales peaked in fiscal 2020 and have fallen since, aside from the recent rebound. kotaku.com videogameschronicle.com

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

Sony isn’t going to be the only company talking about its games at the State of Play. The company has a marketing agreement with Rockstar for Grand Theft Auto 6, and while that game doesn’t need anyone’s platform to make a big marketing splash, if it were going to show up anywhere in these summer showcases, it would likely be here. But don’t get your hopes up too high. No need to spam angry comments if the open-world crime drama doesn’t show up, as it sounds like it’s still on schedule to launch later this year.
