The next couple of months are astoundingly busy for video games, and Sony just ensured that things are about to get a lot busier.

The company behind PlayStation announced a State of Play stream on the PlayStation Blog on Tuesday. These streams typically shuttle viewers from one trailer to the next, showcasing a bunch of previously announced or entirely new games coming to PlayStation consoles. Here's how you can watch and what to expect from the February 2025 State of Play stream.

PlayStation State of Play: When is it and how to watch

The next State of Play stream has been officially confirmed for Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET. You can watch it on PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels.

This part is a little tricker because, of course, Sony didn't bother to tell anyone what's going to be in the stream. Surprises are more fun, I suppose.

That said, we can make some educated guesses. Sony was willing to confirm that the stream is more than 40 minutes long and focuses on upcoming PS5 games, so don't go expecting anything other than that. PlayStation recently did a little feature on upcoming PS5 games specifically for the year 2025, and it included some interesting titles that I would bet might show up at this event.

Namely, Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei. The former hasn't gotten a new trailer in a little more than a year, and if it's actually coming out in 2025, it makes sense for Sony to start showing it more now. The latter was announced more recently, so maybe it's not ready to show just yet, but again, Sony said it's coming in 2025.

Aside from that (which is just speculation on my part), it's impossible to say what will show up in this stream. All the more reason to watch it.
