I was disappointed with the results of last week’s poll, where only 36% of you believed yesterday’s State of Play would be the most-watched stream ever. I really thought it would break the record – I would have bet on it!
(In fact, I wish I had now.)
The June 2026 presentation quickly surpassed the previous viewing record, gaining 4.2 million views in less than 12 hours. It’s on track to exceed the viewership of the 2021 PlayStation Showcase very soon, and is likely to become the most-watched PlayStation Showcase yet, even surpassing the 2023 event.
This broadcast is on track to become the most-watched PlayStation presentation ever, except for the original PlayStation 5 reveal events in 2020. It might even surpass one of those earlier presentations in terms of viewership.
Before yesterday, the February 2026 State of Play was the most popular, reaching 3.4 million views. The series is clearly becoming more and more successful and is now Sony’s primary way of sharing news and updates.
No matter how you felt about yesterday’s presentation, it’s clear the company running it has perfected this type of event. Ultimately, success depends on the games shown and what people expect, but these broadcasts are polished, move at a good pace, and respect your time.
While yesterday’s State of Play wasn’t the most amazing presentation ever, it was still really good and showed off a lot of games I’m excited about. We’ll likely see another similar event in September, including a deeper look at Phantom Blade Zero.
Things have really changed since the traditional E3. Now, with gaming events happening throughout the year, there’s less pressure to reveal everything at just one show. I believe that’s why Sony chose to reveal details about ‘Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’ more slowly – constantly announcing new things can become excessive.
I think Sony has perfected the State of Play presentation style and how it unfolds. Now, it really depends on the games and content they show in the future. It’s impossible to satisfy everyone, but I’m glad the presentations are consistently getting better.
