PlayStation State Of Play September 2025
What, When, and Why You’re Probably Setting an Alarm
The PlayStation State of Play for September 2025 is landing today, September 24 and, let’s be honest, it kind of crept up on a lot of us. Sony’s latest digital showcase will pack over 35 minutes of announcements, new trailers, and at least a few moments where thousands collectively yell “release date, please!” at their screens. If you’re in this for a global gaming sneak-peek or to fuel a late-night group chat, here’s when and why to get excited.
What Time Is State Of Play?
It all kicks off at 2:00 PM PT, 5:00 PM ET, 10:00 PM in the UK, and sorry, India 2:30 AM IST on September 25. If you’ve ever tried synchronizing with friends across time zones for a big livestream, you know the struggle is real. Personally, I have a friend in Delhi who treats these late-night PlayStation events like a sacred sport, prepping snacks and the strongest tea you can imagine.
Here’s the quick version (grab a sticky note if you’re forgetful, like me):
-
US Pacific: 2:00 PM (Sept 24)
-
US Eastern: 5:00 PM (Sept 24)
-
UK: 10:00 PM (Sept 24)
-
Central Europe: 11:00 PM (Sept 24)
-
India: 2:30 AM (Sept 25)
-
Japan: 6:00 AM (Sept 25)
-
Australia East: 7:00 AM (Sept 25)
Find your time, set that alarm, and maybe warn your housemates it’s “shouting at the TV” season again.
What’s Actually Happening at State of Play?
A bunch of game announcements, world premieres, and news from PlayStation’s own studios plus the big-name partners. If the leaks and rumors swirling through the internet are even half true, we’re talking surprises for Marvel’s Wolverine, maybe a glimpse at whatever’s brewing in the God of War universe, and that long-rumored Resident Evil Requiem though don’t blame anyone if your megaton prediction falls flat.
But here’s what’s officially confirmed: Housemarque’s new game Saros is getting an extended five-minute gameplay reveal, and Sony promises fresh looks at third-party and indie titles too. (As someone who got outright obsessed with Returnal, this Saros bit is unskippable for me.)
How to Join the Hype (or the Waiting Room)
The show is streaming live on PlayStation’s YouTube and Twitch. For anyone new: these streams usually start with a rolling countdown, live chat scrolling faster than you can read, and for the bold a wave of group watch Discord calls going chaotic. If you ever went to a midnight movie release, it’s a kind of digital cousin.
Sometimes, I’ll prop my phone above the kitchen sink and “watch” while prepping dinner. Not the best for catching every detail, but perfect for that “wait, did they just announce…?” scramble.
But, Wait, Will There Be GTA 6 News?
A fair question one that’s dominated the community buzz. There’s no official word on Grand Theft Auto 6 making the cut this time, though rockstar rumors swirl every single event. If this is the day, Twitter will absolutely explode by midnight. If not… see you for the next rumor cycle.
