When is the March State of Play?

Sony isn’t giving the rumor mill much time to spin with its latest State of Play. The show is set to air today at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET). While it’s later in the day for those on the east coast, this timeslot isn’t anything new for Sony’s State of Play showcases. Today’s State of Play will last a quick 20 minutes.

How can you watch the March State of Play?

Like all other PlayStation State of Play showcases, today’s will air on PlayStation’s YouTube and Twitch channels at the same time. However, one tends to be ahead of the other, so be sure to check both if you want to see the announcements as fast as possible.

What will be shown at the March State of Play?

Today’s State of Play is going to focus on PlayStation’s Japanese publishers, meaning we could easily see Capcom’s next-gen Resident Evil ports or even some footage of a Resident Evil 4 remake. We’ll also get some updates on games from other developers around the world too, so it’s extremely likely that Ghostwire: Tokyo will be shown at some point, especially with its release date coming up. As for a non-game announcement, Sony could also use this State of Play to reveal Spartacus, its rumored Game Pass competitor.

What we won’t be seeing any of during the State of Play is Sony’s upcoming VR headset, the PlayStation VR2, or its software. In its post announcing the show, Sony explicitly stated that it “won’t have any updates on PlayStation VR2 titles or hardware in this broadcast.”

Sony apparently thinks the best fix for slow PS5 sales is… another PlayStation

Rumors surrounding Sony’s next-generation PlayStation console are heating up again, with fresh speculation focusing on the PS6’s launch timeline and hardware specifications. While some analysts believe the next PlayStation may not arrive until 2028 or later, insider Moore’s Law Is Dead (MLID) argues that Sony cannot afford to delay the console any further - even as PS5 sales begin slowing down.

The latest discussion also revolves around concerns over memory costs. According to earlier claims from hardware leaker KeplerL2, Sony may consider reducing the PS6’s memory configuration to keep prices under control. The rumored change would reportedly lower the console’s GDDR7 VRAM from 30GB to 24GB while also shifting from a 160-bit memory bus to a slower 128-bit configuration.

That reach gives the Forza Horizon 6 Game Pass release a wider lane than a traditional console launch, with Microsoft putting one of its biggest franchises across the screens it now treats as part of Xbox.
