On September 24, 2025, Sony delivered a compact but densely packed 35-minute State of Play showcase, spotlighting both bold new exclusives and surprise cross-platform announcements. Dive in!
The event kicked off with a deep dive into the speed running action adventure bullet hell experience, Saros, Housemarque’s next big PS5 title. For the first time, nearly five minutes of gameplay were shown: players saw protagonist Arjun Devraj wield a Soltari Shield (able to absorb and reflect projectiles), and transform absorbed energy into powerful weapons. The March 20, 2026 release date was revealed, cementing Saros as one of Sony’s most anticipated upcoming exclusives.
As the showcase unfolded, Marvel’s Wolverine made one of its most compelling appearances yet. Insomniac Games gave us a gameplay trailer filled with visceral combat, blood effects, and Logan’s signature ferocity. A Fall 2026 release window was confirmed, setting expectations high for one of the more mature entries in Sony’s lineup.
One of the biggest surprises came from Microsoft: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is coming to PS5 on December 8, 2025, and will include support for PS VR2. The decision to bring a major Xbox/PC franchise into the PlayStation ecosystem signals a shifting philosophy around platform exclusivity.
Sony also delivered several third-party and remaster updates to round out its showcase. Battlefield 6 received a campaign trailer and confirmation of its October 2025 release. A Deus Ex Remastered edition was unveiled with a February 2026 release.
Halloween: The Game returned with a gameplay reveal and 2026 launch date.
The sequel to Let It Die: Inferno, will launch December 2025. Other notable reveals included Nioh 3, Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete Edition Remastered, Code Vein II, Last Epoch (Orobyss expansion), The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, Crimson Desert, and a new title called Chronoscript: The Endless End.
Sony didn’t stop at software. The company revealed its first Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers, aimed at desktop and PS5 users alike, featuring ultra-low latency design. To mark God of War’s 20th anniversary, a special edition DualSense controller was also announced.
Overall, this State of Play struck a balance: bold first-party exclusives, surprising third-party moves, and smart hardware additions. While a few announcements may feel safe rather than revolutionary, the presence of Saros and Wolverine anchors the event—and Sony made clear that its creative and platform ambition is still very much alive.
