We just witnessed a new PlayStation State of Play. This one was only broadcast in Japanese and focuses on Japanese media, but it does include English subtitles. We've got the full video down below.
Now let's recap everything we witnessed.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
Previously shown as part of the Nintendo Direct on September 12, Dragon Age VII Reimagined also sees a PS5 release on the same day as the Nintendo Switch (both 1 and 2). February 5, 2026
inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories
A cozy game in which you take the role of a convenience store clerk, managing your day-to-day operations, chatting with familiar customers, and playing around with the capsule toy machines. Scheduled for release on April 2026.
Coffee Talk Tokyo
Set in a coffee shop in Tokyo, you'll act as a barista serving coffee to the humans, ghosts, and demon-looking things in the store as you listen to the stories that each one of them have to tell. Launches March 5, 2026.
BrokenLore: Unfollow
If you've been on the internet for any amount of time, you know that social media is bad sometimes. BrokenLore: Unfollow focuses on exactly that premise. Launching January 26, 2026 is a game where the effects of a fully connected world on one person manifests all of the negative aspects into a world of horror.
BrokenLore: Ascend
BrokenLore doesn't stop there though. We also have the most recent game in the series that focuses on two characters attempting to climb the Tokyo Tower in the pursuit of chasing fame only to figure out that what's at the top is not what they had hoped. Releases Summer 2026.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake
Another game that was also seen on the Nintendo Direct, the remake to the second game of the Fatal Frame series comes to the PS5 on March 12, 2026. Pick up that camera and snap some shots to fight the monsters that lurk within. Also being released is a Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes new cosmetic items, the game soundtrack, and a digital art book.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins - Visions of Four Heroes DLC
Released in January of this year, Dynasty Warriors: Origins sees a huge DLC being added on January 22, 2026. This incidentally also happens to be the day the game releases on the Nintendo Switch 2, and the DLC is also being added at the same time.
Gran Turismo 7 Power Pack Add-On
During the last State of Play, Kazunori Yamauchi announced the Gran Turismo 7 Spec III Update, which is adding a lot of technical features and gameplay tweaks, two new race tracks (Yas Marina Circuit and Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve), and eight new cars, including the return of the legendary Renault Espace F1. This is proving to be the update that keeps on giving, because one very huge feature was also announced: the Power Pack. A huge series of more realistic races, complete with a qualifying period and everything. There's even a 24-hour race in there. I bet everything that it's at Circuit de la Sarthe.
MotionRec
A pixelated puzzle game where you can record your motions and then play them back to overcome obstacles. Originally released on Steam earlier this year, it comes to PS5 on Spring 2026.
Wandering Sword

Tokyo Xtreme Racer
Making a legendary comeback after 20 years, the Tokyo Xtreme Racer released its newest game on Steam to critical acclaim, and though a PS5 release was previously announced, we now know the exact date. It arrives on February 26, 2026, marking the first time since 2005 that a Tokyo Xtreme Racer game has seen a release on a PlayStation console.

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac/Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration
The remake to one of Pac-Man's most iconic adventures is getting a rather uncanny collaboration with Sonic the Hedgehog. Play as the yellow ball in Sonic's worlds with gameplay gimmicks familiar to fans of both games, and fight Dr. Eggman (or "Robotnik" if you're a classicist). But it's out today! Right now! Like, really, you can play it at this exact second.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger - Episode Pack 1: Alternate Dimension
After being released only last month, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is receiving its first DLC pack. Episode Pack 1 adds five new Digimon and a new storyline for you to unfold. Launches "this Winter".
Super Robot Wars Y - DLC Pack 1
Having released in August of this year, Super Robot Wars Y has a new DLC pack coming very soon with crossover content from Galaxy Cyclone Braiger, The Big O, and Fuuto PI: The Portrait of Kamen Rider Skull. If you don't know what either of those things are, then don't worry, because neither do I. But when I said it's coming "very soon", I meant very soon. November 21, 2025.
Monster Hunter Wilds - Free Title Update 4
Monster Hunter Wilds is receiving its fourth free title update, and this one brings Gogmazios the Giant Halbred Dragon, and new endgame and seasonal events to the whole experience on December 16, 2025.

NiGHTS from Nights into Dreams arrives in December 2025, AiAi from the Super Monkey Ball series arrives on January 2026, and February 2026 gives us a two-fer with Tangle and Whisper. Oh yeah, and that paid SpongeBob DLC pack is only eight days away from now.
Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse
Pocketpair (you know, the Palworld guys?) have a new game releasing on March 5, 2026. Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse can best be described as a hybrid of Hollow Knight and Super Mario: Odyssey. You play as a witch with the ability to throw her hat onto enemies to take control of them in this metroidvania. If you're still on the PS4, then good news for you, because it's coming out on that system too.
BlazBlue Entropy Effect X

Fate Trigger
After releasing on Steam on July of this year, Fate Trigger is seeing an early access PS5 release in 2026 with a couple of new characters and a new map to boot.
Octopath Traveler 0
A prequel to the acclaimed RPG series from Square Enix, Octopath Traveler 0 arrives quicker than you expect. It releases for all modern systems on December 4, 2025. Not only that, but you can also play the demo for it right now.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls (Second Closed Beta)
"From Japan to the world" is the philosophy here, and the game is also opening its second closed beta period from December 5 to December 7. Spider-Man and Ghost Rider will also now be playable for the second closed beta.
Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollow
Elden Ring Nightreign is getting its first DLC, The Forsaken Hollow, on December 4, 2025. As you'd expect, it comes with new bosses and weapons and all that jazz, but fans of previous FromSoft games will also notice a glimpse of Artorias from the original Dark Souls DLC, Artorias of the Abyss.
27" Gaming Monitor
This was a very "blink and miss it" announcement on the State of Play, but Sony also announced a new 27" gaming monitor complete with a DualSense charging hook to charge your controllers from right beneath the screen. They announced that it would come to the US and Japan in 2026, although no mention of when (or even if) it will exist in other territories, or even the price is known.
