It’s been a while since Sony’s last huge PlayStation 5 showcase. Smaller events happened, but nothing showed what’s next for PS5. Now, things are heating up. The PlayStation Blog says it’ll highlight cool third-party games, indie hits, and stuff from PlayStation Studios teams. Unlike past shows focused on one game or VR, this could have it all.
Updates on big titles like Insomniac’s Wolverine—a new leak from the Latin America PlayStation Store today points to a summer 2026 release (July to September), shared on Reddit. Other Sony games like Housemarque’s fun roguelike shooter Saros and Arc System Works’ fighter Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls could get news. The Halo: Combat Evolved remake is coming to PS5 in 2026—maybe Microsoft will surprise us by joining Sony’s stage?
Public reactions on(X) Twitter show a mix of low expectations, excitement, and frustration.
One user said they are not expecting much, which suggests they have been disappointed by similar announcements in the past, though they still hope to be pleasantly surprised.
Not expecting much, as usual. Would love to be surprised, though.

Another user reacted enthusiastically about getting more games, but humorously pointed out the lack of free time to actually play them, reflecting a common concern among gamers.
Yay! More games for my play machine! Will they also announce extra couple hours in a day so I have time for them too?

A third tweet expressed strong relief and excitement, saying the new announcement was needed to “wash out” the disappointment left by a recent Nintendo Direct, indicating dissatisfaction with Nintendo’s earlier showcase.
Finally!!! Need the taste of that awful Nintendo direct washed out of my mouth

Fans are buzzing about rumors too: a new God of War game (Kotaku) or the first peek at Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3? After 2025’s PS5 wins like Ghost of Yotei, strong sales, and a price bump (Kotaku), gamers are ready for PS5’s next big moves. Third-party and indie games will shine, filling up 2026 with exciting plays.
Tune in—claws are out for non-stop action!
