PlayStation Sets June 2 State of Play With New Look at Wolverine

Sony has confirmed a new State of Play for Tuesday, June 2, promising more than an hour of updates and reveals, and opening with a fresh look at Marvel’s Wolverine on PS5. The showcase will run for over 60 minutes and focus on announcements and gameplay from studios around the world.

The announcement also notes that Insomniac will share new details and a combat-focused segment for Wolverine, which is currently slated to launch on PS5 on September 15. That timing lines up with the studio’s recent social teases and sets expectations for one of the show’s headline segments.

Interestingly, Sony is piloting in-person watch parties through Alamo Drafthouse theaters across the United States, a rare theatrical push for a regular State of Play broadcast. Seats are free but limited, and distribution is handled via Alamo’s site. The extra effort suggests Sony expects a meaty slate, even if it remains a standard State of Play rather than a full-blown hardware reveal.

The news first bubbled up via a Reddit thread on GamingLeaksAndRumours, but Sony has since laid out the official rundown, including regional times and co-streaming guidance.

How to watch and what to expect

The broadcast goes live on Sunday, June 2 at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET / 11 pm CEST (June 3 at 6 am JST) on YouTube and Twitch. Sony cautions co-streamers that licensed music may impact VODs. Beyond Wolverine, expect a mix of third-party and first-party updates typical of State of Play, but don’t read this as a signal for new console hardware right now. Sony’s framing is squarely about games, with Wolverine positioned as the opener.

• Start time: June 2 at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET
• Length: 60+ minutes
• Headliner: New look at Marvel’s Wolverine
• Theatrical watch parties: Select Alamo Drafthouse locations in the U.S.

If you’re near one of the participating Alamo locations (Raleigh, Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, New York City), you can try to grab a ticket while they last. It’s an unusual touch for a State of Play, and it will be interesting to see if Sony keeps running public screenings for future showcases.
