Next, it’s time for an update on sci-fi co-op game 4:Loop. I’m still not totally sure what the hook of this title is, but it appears to have a bit of ARC Raiders about it, so maybe it’ll also suck up a whole bunch of my free time when it launches on PS5.

Fantastic sequel Death Stranding 2: On the Beach won’t be PS5-locked for much longer as it’s making it’s way over to PC on March 19. This was a contender for GOTY at The Game Awards, and will no doubt look truly incredible on a beefy gaming PC.

Fans of co-op samurai action rejoice, Ghost of Yotei is getting a Legends mode update next month.

Next up, it’s an announcement from Sucker Punch. Will this be the Ghost of Yotei Legends multiplayer mode?

The sequel is called Kena: Scars of Kosmora, and it’ll be launching on PS5 and PC in 2026. It stars an older, more experienced, Kena and is set in a new land, the titular Kosmora. It looks once again to combine a charming art style with surprisingly demanding combat. Consider me sold!

Here’s an opener I didn’t have on my bingo card, a sequel to 2021’s charming action-platform, Kena: Bridge of Spirits!

If you’re not already sitting comfortable, with your stream (or this live blog) ready, now is the time to get in position. State of Play February 206 begins in less than five minutes. And I’m predicting that Saros or Marathon will kick off the showcase!

State of Play is just 10 minutes away, so I’m making my final prediction, or maybe my final wish, I’d love to see more from Control: Resonant. This first control was one of my favorite games of 2019, and rare title I’ve earned the Platinum trophy in twice (on both PS4 and PS5). So here’s hoping that Remedy have our next look at the game primed for today, and if we’re super lucky we could even get a release date!

There’s a running joke that Sony will continually disappoint fans by not announcing Bloodborne 2.

With that in mind, here are some other sequel games that won’t get announced that I’m actually interested in potentially seeing:

It’s a surprising number of fourquels, but that’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes.

Scott, stepping in for Tony.

I’m curious, I am a Destiny apologist, even the current messy model that is Destiny 2. It’s one of the best feeling shooters available even if the surrounding story has gotten insane. Though perhaps we’ve just gotten back to the “that wizard came from the moon” era.

Anyway, I am willing to give Bungie a try despite the mess. And I am excited for Marathon.

What about you?

I just looked it up, and I can’t believe it’s been over a year since we saw our first glimpse of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophecy. While some say the game will release at the end of 2026, I’m with Jason Schreier, who says Naughty Dog’s upcoming space-based title is actually coming out in 2027.

Given that, it’s unclear if the game will show up during State of Play. If it does, I’m sure it’ll break the internet… in both good and bad ways. I wasn’t exactly enamored with The Last of Us Part II, so I can’t say I’m hyped for Intergalactic, as the trailer left me feeling ambivalent. But I haven’t completely discounted it, so hopefully I’ll see something to spark my interest.

With Xbox games now arriving on PS5, it’s not unreasonable to wonder which Microsoft-developed games might have a showing during State of Play.

As we posted before, rumors are circulating that Starfield might finally get a PS5 release date. That could happen, but I think it’s a safe bet that we might get something (even if it’s in a sizzle reel) for Halo: Campaign Evolved, as that has been confirmed for PS5. Gears of War: E-Day or even Forza Horizon 6 could also get a showing.

With the console war effectively over, it would be smart for Xbox to fully embrace advertising its games on rival showcases like State of Play. We’ll see if the company decides to show anything today.

While this is a PlayStation show, we’re sure to see some third-party games tossed into the mix. To that end, one game I’m sure will pop up is Resident Evil Requiem, as it’s slated to drop on February 27.

Speaking of rumors, one of the wildest I’ve heard is that we could get a 2D Metroidvania-like God of War game starring Kratos’ brother, Deimos. That’s already bonkers enough, but rumors also suggest that this title might be multi-platform… as in it might also arrive on rival systems like Switch 2 and Xbox Series X.

Insomniac’s Wolverine is one of the most anticipated PS5 games. While this State of Play seems like a natural place to show more gameplay, it seems it might be a no-show.

Hey, all! Tony Polanco here, and I’m taking over this blog for the next few hours. Like many of you, I’m excited to see what Sony is cooking for this 60-minute-long State of Play!

We’re getting there, slowly we’re getting there. State of Play 2026 is just four hours away now. Won’t be too much longer before we can see exactly what PlayStation Studios, and some of Sony’s third-party partners, have in store for us. Remember, even if you can’t watch along live, we’ll have all the updates for you in this live blog!

I’ve been scrolling social media to see what other gamers want to see at State of Play February 2026, and a recurring title is, unsurprisingly, Grand Theft Auto VI.

Never say never, but I would be stunned if GTA 6 had any sort of presence. For starters, Take-Two’s Strauss Zelnick (CEO of Rockstar Games’ parent company) recently said in an earnings call that GTA 6 marketing would begin in the summer, and secondly, GTA 6 is such a big deal that it would overshadow everything else.

So, while I can’t 100% rule it out, I would suggest not getting your hopes up that today will be the day that we get to see a little more of GTA 6.

We live in strange times. Xbox games now release on PS5, but one title that remains Xbox console exclusive is Starfield. This sci-fi RPG from Skyrim maker Bethesda launched on Xbox (and PC) in 2023, and more than two years later, PS5 players still haven’t been able to explore its intergalactic world for themselves.

Look, I know Starfield didn’t enjoy the best reception from some RPG players, but personally, I mostly enjoyed my time with this one, and if it ever does come to PS5, I would happily give it a second play-through. There have been rumors of a PS5 port circulating pretty much since 2023, but they’ve heated up further in early 2026.

One of the strangest rumors that just refuses to die, is that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a new DLC expansion in 2026. Yes, The Witcher 3, the GOTY-winning RPG released in 2015. I’m certainly not mad if this rumor proves to be accurate, but I would be very surprised. Single-player games don’t usually get DLC a decade later.

The reports suggest the DLC will lead into The Witcher 4, which is currently in development over at Polish studio CD Projekt Red. The game’s last major update came in 2022, when it was ported over to PS5/Xbox Series X, and got a small selection of new content that tied into Netflix’s “The Witcher” TV show.

However, that was a single quest, and some new armor options, the rumors here claim this will be a more meaty expansion, in line with it’s previous, 2015’s Hearts of Stone and 2016’s Blood and Wine. Consider me skeptical of this rumor being accurate, but if I’m incorrect, and it’s at State of Play, I’d very happy to be wrong.

Last week, Guerrilla Games confirmed the next game set in the world of Horizon, it’s not the full Horizon 3 many fans wanted, instead it’s called Horizon Hunters Gathering and it’s a three-player co-op experience with a more cartoony art style.

The reception online has been a little mixed, but I’m interested to see more, and don’t mean the switch in overall aesthetic and tone. Horizon’s post-apocalyptic future full of metallic creatures to hunt seems like a great candidate for a co-op game, and the roster of “hero” characters each offers their own set of unique skills.

You know, in my head, it felt like we were a little closer, but we’ve still got more than six hours until State of Play February 2026 goes live. As noted, I’m usually one to advice keeping expectations in check, but I’m really feeling the hype for this one. Here’s hoping that PlayStation can deliver a showcase packed with great reveals.

Resident Evil Requiem is entering the final stages of it’s marketing push, with the survival horror game set to launch on February 27. Soon it’ll be in our hands, and I can’t wait to see the twisted horrors the team over at Capcom have created for us.

It seems likely that Resident Evil Requiem might feature in one final gaming showcase before release, and that would be State of Play. Personally, I was sold on this game from its first trailer, and I actually don’t want to see anymore for fear of having a surprise moment spoiled. So if Resi 9 does pop up, I might look away!

Another long-standing internet rumor is that Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Friday is getting a shiny new remake, bringing back the pirate-themed adventure for a new generation of consoles. Heck, this one might even be more than a rumor, as an Ubisoft social media account made a cheeky reference to its existence in January.

One of the big rumors circulating in the gaming world right now is that PlayStation is quietly working on a God of War spin-off title. That seems a pretty boilerplate rumor on the surface (a popular franchise gets a spin-off title, which is hardly unexpected), but more surprisingly, it’s claimed this game will be a 2D side-scroller.

For the last 12 months, during every PlayStation State of Play, and events like Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards, I’ve been keeping my fingers crossed that we get a new trailer for Nuaghty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

So far, I’ve been let down every time, but there’s no question about, I’m ready to get hurt again. Intergalactic represents Naughty Dog’s first new IP since The Last of Us way back in 2013, and I just cannot wait to learn more about this sci-fi experience.

The first trailer we got back in December 2024 instantly grabbed me, and Naughty Dog are a developer that has yet to disappoint me (yes, I even rank The Last of Us Part 2 as a masterpiece). I’m not totally convinced we will see Intergalactic today in the State of Play, as it’s rumored for a 2027 release, but I’m keep hoping until then.

I’m not typically a fighting game player (that’s in part because I usually suck at them), but one fighter I’m keeping an eye on is Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

This fighter from acclaimed developer Arc System Works combines Marvel’s stable of superheroes with an anime-style art style, which is immediately striking. It also features my boy, Spider-Man, in the playable roster, which always gets my attention.

It set to launch sometime in 2026, and so seems a good candidate to feature at State of Play. Maybe we’ll get a firm release date in just a matter of hours.

It’s the start of the working day in the U.S. (on the east coast, at least), so if you’re just joining me, the key details you need to know are that today (Feb. 12) will see the first PS5 State of Play in 2026, it’ll begin at 12 pm PT / 5 pm ET / 10 pm GMT.

The live broadcast is set to last for at last an hour (Sony is saying “60+ minutes”), and will include games from PlayStation Studios. Today could be a very big day in the world of PlayStation, and I’m bringing you all the details in this live blog!

With Marathon, Saros and Marvel’s Wolverine making up the tentpole trio of PlayStation Studios games confirmed for 2026 (as of writing, at least), it stands to reason that all three will feature in today’s State of Play. But there’s reason to think that Logan might give this showcase a miss and keep his claws hidden away.

In response to a question on X, asking when gamers would get to learn more about Wolverine, Insomniac Games’ official account offered up the vague, “Spring 2026” in reply. At least in my calendar, February isn’t quite spring, so don’t bet on Wolverine being included in this PlayStation event.

Of course, this could be intentional misdirection from the folks at Insomniac, but we’ll just have to wait until the State of Play February later today to find out.

There were always two PlayStation Studios games that I felt highly confident would appear at State of Play. One was Marathon, which is now confirmed, the other is Saros from developer Housemarque.

Saros was announced at last year’s February showcase, and is currently slated for release on April 30. It’s a spiritual successor to 2021’s GOTY-worthy Returnal. Based on the brief gameplay snippets we’ve seen, it’s going to offer the same blockbuster bullet-hell gameplay in an intriguing, and sinister, sci-fi world. It also appears that the story might be a little less mysterious this time, which some players will prefer.

As noted, it’s due to launch in the spring, so it seems very likely Saros will get a new trailer in this State of Play as Sony looks to ramp up the marketing ahead of April.

It’s by no means a surprise, but Marathon is one game we know we be featured during State of Play.

Sony-owned developer Bungie confirmed the sci-fi shooter would be included in the broadcast via a post on the game’s official discord server, noting that “we’re excited to share we’ll be part of the PlayStation State of Play.”

Marathon is a big bet for developer Bungie, who need a win after the most recent Destiny 2 expansions haven’t quite met player demand. The game is set to launch on March 5, so it always seems likely that Sony would use this State of Play to give it another big push ahead of the release date in just a few weeks.

This first-person extraction shooter looks like it might be landing at just the right time following the uber-success of ARC Raiders, there’s plenty of demand for more games in the genre, and Marathon looks different enough to carve out its own spot.

I’m always excited for any State of Play, but there’s a particular reason that today’s broadcast has got me really hyped: PlayStation Studios will have a presence.

If you’re out of the loop, PlayStation Studios is the umbrella group used to mark Sony-owned developers like Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Insomniac, Housemarque and more. Often PlayStation Studios teams don’t feature during State of Play, but this time, at least some of the developers will be showcased.

To set expectations, Sony isn’t promising every PlayStation Studios team will be present, but hopefully we hear more from the likes of Naughty Dog and Bluepoint Games who have been quiet on their current projects for quite a while now.

Hello, welcome to Tom’s Guide’s live coverage of the PS5 State of Play for February 2026. I’m Rory, a Senior Entertainment Editor, and I’ll be guiding you through today’s PlayStation showcase (with some help from a few colleagues). The event doesn’t start for a few hours, but there’s still plenty to cover, so let’s get talking PlayStation…
