Sony looks to be planning a State of Play event in February 2026, according to notable insider, NateTheHate2 on X . The leaker goes on to say in a reply that the State of Play is scheduled for the first half of February, specifically the 12th, although he didn't expand on what he expects to launch or show up at the event. The confirmation of the State of Play has expectedly led to a lot of speculation over what may be announced. For one, many are expecting word on that Horizon MMO that was previously leaked .

The list of 2026 launches that Sony has officially acknowledged is also quite large, including Marvel's Wolverine, Dune: Awakening, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Saros, which is currently already available for pre-order—just to name a few. It's likely that there will be some additional gameplay or showcase of these games, as well as the upcoming Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls 4v4 fighting game. It has also been previously leaked that Rockstar is working on a next-gen Red Dead Redemption 2, and there has been no shortage of speculation about that revisit potentially showing up at the February State of Play.
