Everything announced at PlayStation's June 2025 State of Play
Summer game reveal season begins today. While Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase will have our attention this weekend, Sony is kicking things off with a PS5 showcase that could be juicy. After all, the back half of 2025 is a bit of a mystery for Sony. We know that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Marathon, and Ghost of Yotei will be the system's biggest games, but we expect some more holiday season exclusives to be revealed during today's 40 minute stream.
Those won't just come from Sony itself. A blog post teased that we'll be getting updates from developers around the world. In PlayStation speak, that's usually code for third-party studios. Historically, we've gotten big announcements from companies like Capcom and Square Enix at State of Play showcases, so you never know if something like Resident Evil 9 will rear its ugly head here. You won't want to miss it, so we're going to keep you updated live in this article. Follow along with us as Sony shows us what to expect on PS5 this year and beyond.

Xbox's Games Showcase and Outer Worlds 2 Direct Stream Sunday: How to Watch
PlayStation fans aren't the only ones getting new gaming announcements this month. Xbox gamers are gearing up for their favorite event of the year. The Xbox Games Showcase will stream Sunday, followed by Outer Worlds 2 Direct, a presentation showcasing the upcoming sequel to Obsidian's 2019 The Outer Worlds game. Here's what to expect. How can I watch the Xbox Games Showcase? The Xbox Games Showcasewill stream on Sunday, at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. Xbox plans to debut new titles from its first-party studios and third-party partners. Both the Showcase and Outer Worlds 2 Direct can be streamed on Facebook, Steam, TikTok, Twitch and YouTube. The full list of links is available in the Xbox Wire announcement. Two gaming experts will lead the livestream in real time: Ethan Rothamel, a hardware program manager for Xbox, and Senpapi Gabe, a streamer and content creator. Fans are hoping for news about Gears of War Reloaded and the next Call of Duty, among others. Xbox will share blog posts about the big announcements on Xbox Wire. Separate recaps of the Xbox Games Showcase and Outer Worlds 2 Direct will also be available on Xbox Wire. How can I watch Outer Worlds 2 Direct? The Outer Worlds 2 event will kick off immediately after Xbox's showcase and will be streamed on the same sites. Evan Zimmer, a CNET editor and gamer, broke down what to expect from the sequel. "This time around, you're dropped into the Arcadia system, a far-off star system colonized by megacorporations," said Zimmer. "It expands on the groundwork laid by the first game, with deeper build customization and RPG elements, like its skills and flaws system, while still leaning heavily into the original's satirical tone and excellent dialogue." The original Outer Worlds was popular for its satire and snappy dialogue. It won several awards, including Game of the Year at the Game Awards in 2019. A release date for Outer Worlds 2 hasn't been announced yet, but could be shared at the livestream event.

3 new PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (June 6-8)
We're fully in showcase season with SGF 2025 starting today and a surprise State of Play happening earlier this week with tons of upcoming PS5 games shown off. Oh, and there's a little console called the Nintendo Switch 2 that just came out as well. But if you're a PlayStation faithful, you will need some games to play this weekend between showcases and while waiting for Death Stranding 2. Last week we got an early drop of PlayStation Plus games, but there's even more that just hit the service this week you might've forgotten about. I've picked out a fresh batch of brand new games you can get lost in over the weekend, so let's get to it. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk If you have any fond memories of Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was made for you. If you weren't around or missed out on that game, this is more than just a nostalgia play. This is a hip-hop-infused skating and graffiti game that looks and sounds like nothing else. You can choose to play on skates, BMX bikes, and skateboards but none of them are meant to be mechanically challenging. Instead, the game is more focused on style, tagging, and chaining together long strings of insane tricks. The maps might be a little too big and confusing later on, but it has a cool story, fantastic locations, and style all its own. Recommended Videos Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC. Alone in the Dark I hope you read my recommendations last week, where I said it was the perfect time to play Alone in the Dark 2. If not, I'm hurt, but it's okay. Alone in the Dark is a reimagining of the 1992 original so you're totally safe starting here. You can pick between two protagonists: Emily Hartwood, played by Jodie Comer, or Edward Carnby, played by David Harbour. This is a classic third-person horror game with slightly altered events depending on your character. Sadly, the game was met with mixed reviews and stiff competition at the time it came out and developer Pieces Interactive was closed down afterward. While not the best survival horror game I've played, it is still one worth trying for fans of the genre. Alone in the Dark is available now on PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Myst There was no predicting Myst and Riven would show up in the Classics catalogue, but that's why I love it so much. These two classic adventure games are the perfect games to go to next if you got hooked on Blue Prince earlier this year. These are first-person puzzle games with very little in the way of instructions, meaning you will need to use your own smarts to overcome the roadblocks. Because these games are on the older side, some of these puzzles are a bit unfair compared to what you might be used to now, so don't feel bad referring to a guide here and there. But, if you want that same satisfaction of working out a devious puzzle with nothing but your own brain power, these two games are exactly what you need. Myst is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mobile, and PC.
