Sony has announced that the next State of Play presentation will take place this week.

The State of Play will take place on Thursday, February 12 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm GMT.

Sony says the presentation will last more than 60 minutes, and will feature “news, gameplay updates, and announcements from game studios across the globe”.

According to the publisher, the showcase will focus on a range of titles, including “eye-catching third-party and indie games headed to PS5, along with the latest from teams at PlayStation Studios”.
