Despite its recent fumbles with the community, 2024 is turning out to be an outstanding year for PlayStation, thanks to the amazing gaming experiences that the platform constantly provides its players with. FromHelldivers 2toStellar Blade, there’s no shortage of excellent titles on the console, but things have been quiet when it comes to Sony’s first-party studios. What are developers like Naughty Dog or Sucker Punch up to?
Fortunately, it seems like Sony’s gearing up for its PlayStation Showcase, which may be coming sooner than expected.
The PlayStation Showcase May Be Happening Very Soon
During an episode ofGiant Bombcast, Jeff Grubb, a proven industry insider who has correctly revealed plenty of information related to Sony before its official announcement in the past, was confident that the PlayStation Showcase is taking place this month.
Last month, Xbox announced that it’d be presentingits Games Showcase on June 9, so it’d make sense for Sony to try and take attention away from the competition by holding its own presentation a couple of weeks earlier. Grubb isn’t sure “whether it’s next week or the week after,” but he’s adamant that the event’s happening in May, even if it’s near the month’s end.

The insider reiterated that he wouldn’t be surprised if it takes place as soon as next week, stating that Sony is ready and the PlayStation Showcase “could happen at any moment.” It remains to be seen what the event has in store for the fans, but considering how silent Sony’s first-party studios have been, the Showcase should include huge announcements.
From Rumored Connections With Kendrick Lamar to Potential First-Party Reveals, the Showcase Might Include a Lot
The PlayStation Showcase was brought up as Grubb was addressing an industrial crossover rumor that’s been going around. For those uninitiated with hip-hop, two high-profile rappers, Kendrick Lamar and Drake, have been releasing multiple diss tracks aimed at each other.
However, things have seemingly come to a standstill after Drake launchedThe Heart Part 6, after which Kendrick still hasn’t responded, giving rise to rumors that it may be because of Lamar’s potential connection with the upcoming Sony event.

The rumor about Lamar not launching his diss track as a marketing collaboration with Sony was put aside by Grubb, who doesn’t think that it’s likely to happen. But the PlayStation Showcase is a celebration of the company’s upcoming lineup of games, and its first-party studios, who’ve been laying low, may finally have something substantial for their fanbases.
Who knows, maybe Sucker Punchannounces aGhost of Tsushimasequel, or Naughty Dog reveals what it’s been working on aside from itsThe Last of Usrevamps.
There could also be slight chances of Insomniac Games showcasing fresh content from its adapted Marvel universe, while some more footage or potential release dates forDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachand theSilent Hill 2remake might be on the table as well. Sony could even reveal an upgraded version of the PlayStation 5.
But considering that is just speculation for now, what are you looking forward to seeing at the upcoming PlayStation Showcase? Let us know in the comments!

Ever since Osama was gifted the glorious PS2 more than two decades back, video games have formed a major part of his life, ranging from spending hours playing through every single Dragon Ball game he could find to witnessing the gaming industry evolve into something extraordinary in modern times. Building his collection of PlayStation consoles throughout the years all the way up until PS5, he prefers single-player experiences like The Last of Us and Persona, while also letting off steam on a daily basis with casual EA Sports FC matches. But the current rise in online multiplayer shooters will never really appeal to his old-school self.
