In 2019, Sony omitted E3 to "look for inventive opportunities to engage [its] community." Since then, the company has been making State of Plays. These presentations showcase upcoming games, similar to Nintendo Directs.

People have been wondering if a State of Play will occur this month. We have good reasons to believe a presentation is coming soon.

Is There a PlayStation State of Play in September 2023

Sony hasn't announced an upcoming State of Play. However, verified industry insider Jeff Grubb stated the PlayStation Plus subscription price increase indicates a forthcoming showcase.
Grubb has a track record of accurately reporting gaming news.

Insomniac Games posted on X, telling people to "hang tight for news" on Aug. 30 as well.

The fact that pre-orders for Final Fantasy VII are available also shows a State of Play may be around the corner. The game has no set release date, so Sony will likely announce it in a State of Play.
In addition, Sony has held a yearly State of Play every September since 2019. The company will likely follow suit this year.

Of course, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 would be the main attraction of a September State of Play. The title is one of the most anticipated games on the PlayStation 5. Rise of the Ronin and Helldivers 2 are other major titles scheduled to be released this year.
