PlayStation Is Hosting Two State of Play Back-to-Back This Week

PlayStation is doubling up on its showcase schedule this week.

Sony has announced that State of Play and State of Play Japan will return on Thursday, September 3, with the two broadcasts airing back-to-back. The first presentation will focus on announcements and updates from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners, while State of Play Japan will shift the spotlight toward upcoming games from developers across Japan and Asia.

There's already one major title confirmed for the first show, with Square Enix set to provide an extended look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation.

When Is the PlayStation State of Play?

The first State of Play will take place on Thursday, September 3, followed immediately by State of Play Japan.

Both broadcasts begin at:

• 6:00 AM PT
• 9:00 AM ET
• 3:00 PM CEST
• 9:00 PM WAT (Nigeria)
• 10:00 PM JST

The two presentations will air consecutively, meaning viewers can tune in once and watch both showcases without having to come back later.

How to Watch State of Play and State of Play Japan

Both broadcasts will be streamed live on PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels.

The first State of Play will be presented in English, with Japanese subtitles available. State of Play Japan will then be presented in Japanese, with English subtitles available.

That makes the double feature particularly interesting for international viewers looking to discover games that may not otherwise receive as much attention outside Asia.

What to Expect From State of Play

The first presentation will feature updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and Sony's third-party partners.
