Word around the rumor mill is that there could be a new PlayStation State of Play event, the first one of 2023, coming soon, bringing lots of gameplay footage, content, and news from many different games to be released during the year. Fans are always excited to hear more PlayStation news and learn more about their favorite games, so they are looking forward to each one of the State of Play events throughout the year.

PlayStation's last State of Play event was in September 2022, which revealed a story trailer for God of War Ragnarok, announced multiplayer game Synduality, unveiled the exclusive quest for Hogwarts Legacy, and much more. So, this year, there is sure to be even more exciting news and gameplay showed off during the State of Play events, as there are many game and hardware releases coming up in the next few months.

PlayStation Lifestyle magazine rounded up a bunch of news that they were able to find online on 4chan, Twitter, and other sources, about the rumor that there will be a PlayStation State of Play event sometime in February. The rumor is founded on the fact that PS VR2, PlayStation's second generation of virtual reality gaming-ware, is set to release on February 22, which would definitely call for a State of Play-style event that shows off the headset's capabilities and maybe even announces more titles for it.

In the PlayStation Lifestyle article, though, they did find the rumors to be unfounded and not linked to any official PlayStation or Sony source. It seems to be mostly a prediction based on the fact that PS VR 2 is releasing in February. Also, because Hogwarts Legacy is getting a PlayStation-exclusive quest and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is coming out in the fall, it makes sense for Sony to decide to have a State of Play sometime in the first quarter.

PlayStation takes a lot of time to put together a bunch of content to show off at its State of Play events. Last year, PlayStation revealed great gameplay footage of Stellar Blade, which got fans even more excited to play the game that looks like it will merge the best parts of the Nier games with Bayonetta. From these events, players learn more information about what exactly they have to look forward to in upcoming titles. Whether the State of Play is coming next month or not, fans can still look forward to lots of great releases and news to come from PlayStation in the next few months.
