After a number of rumors, PlayStation's next State of Play was finally confirmed for February 25th, 2021. The broadcast lasted around 30 minutes and focused on upcoming PS4 and PS5 titles. Here's every game that was featured during the latest State of Play.
Ahead of the stream, fans knew a bit about what to expect from February's State of Play, including new game announcements, deep dives into upcoming titles, and some possible surprises. Games like God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon: Forbidden West were also heavily rumored to be showcased during the event but weren't shown. The presentation featured ten games total, and gave fans a lot to look forward to in the upcoming year.
The event kicked off by showing Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time on PlayStation 5, with enhanced 3D audio and 60 fps. Following that was a sneak peak at Returnal, an upcoming exclusive from PlayStation Studios that's arriving this spring. Rounding out the early portions of the presentation was Knockout City, from the EA Originals program, which showed off its arena style gameplay and announced a cross-platform beta.
