Important takeaways
- No PlayStation Showcase or State of Play news for December.
- Industry insiders see potential at The Game Awards 2024.
- Fans are expecting more PlayStation announcements at the end of the year.
Jeff Grubb reports that there has been no news from his side regarding a PlayStation Showcase or State of Play, despite players' expectations. Many big announcements have been made throughout the year, and with titles such as Harmony out of the way, PlayStation executives might be interested in giving fans something else to look forward to. It is not unreasonable to look to the end of the year for more announcements.
Although there have been many big releases for PlayStation 2024 such as Helldivers 2, Stellar Bladeand Astro Botplayers who have enjoyed these titles may be looking for something else to entertain themselves. Naughty Dog has projects in the works, Sucker Punch Productions announced Ghost of Yoteiand Kojima Productions continues the work with Death Stranding 2. There's a promising lineup in PlayStation 5's future, but when fans will actually get more information about any of these games is unclear. Some have hoped that an early winter State of Play or Showcase might be that moment.

All major video game releases are coming soon for PS5 and PS4
From JRPGs to platforming, racing and fighting titles, here are all the big new PS5 games coming in 2024 and beyond.
Gaming industry insider Jeff Grubb shared on social media that so far he hasn't heard any talk of an upcoming PlayStation Showcase or State of Play for December. As the end of 2024 approaches, many expect more big announcements for upcoming PlayStation Exclusives and other industry leaders, but the lack of buzz from reputable insiders suggests that there may be few if any major developments happening for PlayStation in the near future.
PlayStation's 2024 may be over
Some fans have pointed out that Sony had a permit for January 2024, and used that as evidence to suggest the likelihood of an early 2025 event. Others believe there is still a chance for a November or December show, and that information will emerge as November draws to a close. While there's a lot of anticipation about what the next step for PlayStation is, there's another event gamers can pin all their hopes on.
Many people seem to believe that The Game Awards 2024 show is where all the big announcements for the end of the year will happen. Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation have all used the event at some point to drop big reveals, so it's fair to say that this trend will continue. Nintendo fans believe The Game Awards will be a great Switch 2 reveal window because so many people will be tuning in to see what happens, and Sony might be able to use some of that time to focus on bigger PlayStation- messages too, given the opportunity.
PlayStation 5
Sony's PlayStation 5 is part of the ninth console generation and debuted with a launch lineup that included Demon's Souls and Astro's Playroom. The console comes with a Blu-ray disc, although a digital-only edition is available for a cheaper price.
