Sony's anticipated February PlayStation State of Play broadcast is reportedly slated for next week. NateTheHate, a leaker with a proven track record (including accurately predicting the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal date), hinted at a State of Play during Valentine's Day week (February 10th-14th).
Speculation is rife about what Sony might unveil. Considering first-party titles slated for 2025, several strong contenders emerge. Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei, currently slated for a 2025 release, could receive a gameplay showcase and official release date. Bungie's Marathon, a PvP extraction shooter, might also appear, particularly if playtesting is planned for this year. Haven Studios' debut title, Fairgames, remains a possibility. While less likely, new trailers for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (also slated for 2025), Naughty Dog's unannounced IP Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine could surface.
However, several recently canceled live-service titles are unlikely to feature. Last month, Sony axed two unannounced live-service games from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games (reportedly a God of War live-service title). Bend Studio's canceled project remains undisclosed. Guerrilla Games' live-service Horizon project, however, reportedly survived the cuts—a reveal might finally be imminent.

Microsoft's presence shouldn't be overlooked. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is launching soon on PS5, potentially warranting a release date announcement. Furthermore, a State of Play could mark the long-awaited arrival of Halo on PlayStation.
Looking back at last year's State of Play offers clues. It showcased Death Stranding 2, Physint, Rise of the Ronin, the Until Dawn remaster, Stellar Blade, Dragon's Dogma 2, Sonic Frontiers, various Silent Hill projects, Judas, Foamstars, and Helldivers 2.
