PlayStation rumored to host a major live stream in September; here's what to expect
If you've been waiting for some fresh PlayStation news, the wait might finally be over. Rumor has it,
Sony
is lining up a live stream this September. Whether it's a classic State of Play or a full-blown Showcase, fans are buzzing with speculation.
And honestly? This might be exactly what PlayStation needs right now.
Insider Jeff Grubb said that PlayStation is expected to host a live stream in September
Industry insider Jeff Grubb recently spilled during
Game Mess Mornings
that PlayStation is lining up a September live stream. Now, he believes it's more likely to be a State of Play rather than a Showcase.
He leans towards a State of Play, which is shorter, tighter, and usually focused on both first-party and third-party titles. But he hasn't completely ruled out the chance of a bigger Showcase, which tends to be flashier and packed with reveals.

What Could We See?
That's the million-dollar question. While Grubb didn't drop specific titles, the timing feels perfect for a couple of big updates.
Ghost of Yotei, set to drop in October, is a strong contender for a spotlight.
Games already teased, like Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet or Housemarque's Saros (slated for 2026), could show up.
Fans are also holding out hope for a fresh look at Insomniac's Wolverine, because that hype hasn't cooled down one bit.
Maybe even something new from Housemarque's Saros
What about PlayStation's live-service projects? Interestingly, Grubb mentioned that PlayStation's in-development live-service game, Fairgames, probably
won't
show up. So scratch that one off the list.
Why This Stream Matters
PlayStation's current-gen journey has been a mixed bag. The single-player blockbusters? Still fire.

But their push into live-service? Not so much. With Concord scrapped and Marathon delayed indefinitely, fans are questioning what's really cooking behind the scenes.
That's why September's stream feels like a crucial moment. Sony needs to remind players why the PS5 era is still worth the hype.
At this point, nothing's official, but September is shaping up to be a big month for PlayStation news. Whether it's just a State of Play with a few trailers or a Showcase that blows the roof off, fans are hungry for updates. One thing's certain: when that stream goes live, the internet's going to explode.

Amitabh Bachchan-Katrina Kaif film was shot at Dubai hotel that turned down James Bond, on Gaddafi's private jet; flopped instantly, bankrupted Jackie Shroff
Bollywood is a fleeting business, and most of the radical ideas that find their way to a screen don't really end up making a mark on the overall picture of the industry. Boom (2003), directed by Kaizad Gustad, is one such example, and nothing could save this film from its fate, not the money put into it, not the stellar cast, consisting of names like Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover, Madhu Sapre, Padma Lakshmi, or debutante Katrina Kaif. Jackie's wife, Ayesha Shroff, produced the film, and in a recent interview she recalled all that they had achieved during the filming and why its ultimate failure hurt even more. Ayesha and daughter Krishna Shroff sat down to have a chat about their business ventures and life on the YouTube channel of Zero1 Hustle. Ayesha admitted that she quit acting because she felt two actors couldn't make a marriage work. She eventually turned a producer, 'I always had that passion for movies, and my husband was also producing films. Suddenly he got very busy, and he told me, 'Listen, I don't have time for this; can you look into it?' I decided to get into it, and I loved it immediately. Then I did another film, Jis Desh Mai Ganga Rehta Hai, with Govinda. Everyone told me that it would take me 50 years to complete the film because he was supposedly this moody star. I used to go to his house every day, pick him up and bring him to the set. Except for the songs, we finished the shooting in 30 days.' ALSO READ: Gulshan Grover had an awkward moment with Katrina Kaif in Boom and the reason was Amitabh Bachchan. Read more She talked about her and Jackie's investment into Sony and how exiting that deal had made them quite a comfortable amount of money. 'After we exited from partnering with Sony, we made Boom. It was a fantastic experience, and it was very much ahead of its time. Actually, I was making money before the film was released. We had such an incredible cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Gulshan Grover, and Jackie, and we got a 17-year-old Katrina Kaif from London. Salman Rushdie used to hang out at our sets because he was seeing Padma Lakshmi at the time. We had Bo Derek, and I even got her to do the iconic scene from her film Ten, but instead of a swimsuit, she was wearing a golden saree,' shared Ayesha. Talking about the film, she added, 'We shot in the Burj Al-Arab, and at the same time, the James Bond people had contacted the hotel for the same location, because they wanted to make it into the villain's lair, but they said no. I pleaded with them, and that was Mr Bachchan's house in the film. We had Gaddafi's private jet, and we even shut down Dubai airport for half a day.' Despite all the efforts, money and cameo appearances, the film tanked at the box office, and Ayesha credits that to the film getting leaked before release. She said, 'Boom changed the look of Bollywood, but the film got pirated before release. DVDs were selling in front of every train station, and all the distributors backed out; I had no money to pay anyone. At that point in time, Jackie told me that we were going to release the film no matter what, and we signed bonds for everyone. We did go through some sh*tty times. But as a unit and as a family, we all kept each other happy and content. Whatever negative happened, or when the 'doomsday' came, we made an adventure out of it. My husband has a favourite quote, which is, 'I am a blank cheque,' and he kept on working, and we never let the kids know that we were going through any financial trauma. Even when things were really bad, all of us were part of an adventure, and we got through it.'

‘Coolie' becomes Rajinikanth's third biggest hit in India
Rajinikanth's new movie Coolie is doing well. It earned a lot of money on the first day in Tamil Nadu. The film made Rs 216 crore in India in just six days. Coolie is now Rajinikanth's third-biggest movie in India. Only 2.0 and Jailer earned more. Rajinikanth is still a big star even with younger actors coming up. Rajinikanth has once again proven why he remains the undisputed superstar of Indian cinema. His latest release, Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj , has stormed the box office and officially emerged as the megastar's third biggest hit in India, standing tall behind 2.0 (2018) and Jailer (2023). Released with massive anticipation, Coolie opened to a thunderous Rs 65 crore Day 1, the highest-ever for Rajinikanth in Tamil Nadu. The film's first weekend collections were rock solid, with Rs 54.75 crore on Friday, Rs 39.5 crore on Saturday, and Rs 35.25 crore on Sunday, taking the opening four-day total to Rs 194.5 crore. Despite the usual weekday drop, the film still managed to earn Rs 12 crore on Monday and an estimated Rs 9.5 crore on Tuesday, pushing its six-day India total to Rs 216 crore. When compared to Rajinikanth's previous blockbusters, Coolie is now firmly positioned as his third-biggest grosser in India. 2.0, directed by Shankar , remains on top with a mammoth Rs 407.05 crore India net, followed by Nelson's Jailer, which amassed Rs 348.55 crore during its run. Coolie though has been losing audience with each passing day but it is still running strong with the current trend the film is eyeing a lifetime total in the Rs 275-300 crore range if the films gets a huge push in the coming weekend. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo The film's success highlights Rajinikanth's enduring box office power even in an era dominated by younger stars and pan-India spectacles. Unlike 2.0, which was mounted as a high-budget sci-fi extravaganza with a wider Hindi market appeal, and Jailer, which benefitted from tremendous word-of-mouth, Coolie is a more mass-oriented Rajinikanth vehicle. Yet, its ability to pull in over Rs 200 crore within a week underscores the superstar's unshakable connect with audiences. For context, recent South biggies from contemporaries haven't delivered with the same consistency. While Jailer and Pushpa 2 broke records, many other star vehicles have seen steep drops post-opening. In contrast, Rajinikanth's films have continued to command historic openings and sustained runs, proving his unparalleled stature across decades. With Coolie officially becoming his third highest-grossing film in India, Rajinikanth now holds the rare distinction of delivering three of Tamil cinema's all-time biggest blockbusters in different genres and phases of his career. At 74, the Thalaivar shows no signs of slowing down, reminding the industry why he remains its most bankable icon. His next is going to be Jailer 2 with Nelson with talks already happening about collaborating with Lokesh again for a film with Kamal Haasan .
