My State of Play Predictions Video

To kick things off, I’ve released a State of Play Predictions video, where I break down what we might see during the February presentation. The video explores:

  • Likely first-party appearances

  • Third-party titles that feel overdue for updates

  • The balance between big AAA reveals and smaller spotlight games

  • What PlayStation may be saving for later in the year

This predictions video is meant to set the stage before the event, offering context and grounded speculation ahead of the live show.

Official Live Co-Stream Presentation

In addition to the predictions video, I’ll be hosting an official live co-stream presentation of PlayStation’s State of Play on February 12.

This will be a real-time reaction and commentary stream, where we’ll watch the presentation together, react to announcements as they happen, and discuss what each reveal could mean for PlayStation’s 2026 roadmap.

The co-stream will be presented respectfully under Fair Use, with full credit given to PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment for the original broadcast.

  Before the lights dimmed for Fantastic Four: The First Steps, an unexpected and electrifying surprise took over the screen: a first-look teaser for James Cameron’s next chapter in the Avatar saga, Avatar: Fire and Ash. And let me just say this up front... it was breathtaking. 🔥 First Impressions: A Teaser That Burns Bright In under two minutes, Avatar: Fire and Ash establishes itself as a visual and emotional powerhouse.
