  • Wednesday, May 24 at 1pm PT

There has been a lot of discussion about what games and hardware will be featured on this newest PlayStation Showcase. Final Fantasy 16 was shown off during the previous PlayStation State of Play livestream back in April, and one last trailer could likely be released before the game launches on June 22. A much bigger trailer reveal would be Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, as fans have seen next to nothing from Insomniac’s latest superhero action title since it was officially revealed during 2021’s PlayStation Showcase event save for a tie-in prequel comic and a few small promotional events.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to Sumer Game Fest 2023, and now it has been confirmed that PlayStation will start the festivities off with a bang next week. Gamers looking to catch a glimpse at the future of Sony’s gaming brand will need to tune in on Wednesday, May 24 for the upcoming PlayStation Showcase - which will be the first in a series of jam-packed gaming events being held throughout the summer season.
