<p>Tune in for updates on PS4 and PSVR games</p>
<p>Sony joins Nintendo and Microsoft in the “holding your own news event” department with the <a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/2019/03/22/state-of-play-playstations-new-video-showcase-debuts-monday/">announcement of <em>State of Play,</em></a> a live broadcast that will be held next week. Tune in on Monday, March 25, at 2 p.m. PDT for updates on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games.</p>
<p>According to Sony, you can expect “new trailers, new game announcements and new gameplay footage.” But, more curiously, this isn’t a one-time thing: <em>State of Play</em> will return throughout the year with more news announcements for fans. Incidentally, <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/11/15/18097443/e3-2019-sony-no-press-conference">Sony also pulled out of E3 2019</a>, making <em>State of Play</em> something of a necessity for the company. At the time, a representative told Polygon that Sony was “exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019.”</p>
<p>Really, it’s about time. Microsoft has its own semi-regular live show, <em>Inside Xbox</em>, and Nintendo holds Nintendo Direct presentations every so often to inform consumers about the latest software and hardware developments. It’s a good information delivery format, and in Nintendo’s case, also a good excuse for fans to come up with new memes. Hopefully <em>State of Play</em> has some charm to it, too. </p>
<p>You’ll be able to catch <em>State of Play</em> via <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/playstation">Twitch</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playstation">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/playstation">Twitter</a>, or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/playstation">Facebook</a>, and of course, we’ll be covering the biggest announcements from the show as well.</p>
