Description:
Sony's PS5 showcase 2021 is coming up soon, so here's how you can watch the whole thing to see the latest PS5 game announcements as they happen.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sonys big PS5 Showcase for 2021 is almost here and we cant wait to see whats announced on Thursday, September 9. The whole show will last for around 40 minutes and will give viewers a look at games coming to the PS5 this holiday and next year.

Given that Sony is calling this the PS5 Showcase rather than using State of Play - the name it uses for its smaller more regular updates - suggests we could be in store for a much bigger digital event than were used to from the company. Were looking forward to announcements for games like God of War: Ragnarok , and maybe some teasers for PS5 projects we know nothing about.

However, to preemptively temper our expectations Sony has revealed that its next generation of PSVR (what were currently calling PSVR 2 ) wont be making an appearance during the showcase.

The PS5 Showcase will be taking place on Thursday, September 9 at 1PM PT /
4PM ET / 9PM BST / 6AM ACT. The event will last around 40 minutes and be watchable on Sony's official PlayStation YouTube and Twitch pages.

At the time of writing Sony has yet to schedule a stream so we cant link that directly here. Unfortunately, that means you wont be able to set a reminder through YouTube, so wed advise setting an alarm in another app so you dont forget to tune in.

If you do forget that wont be the end of the world as youll be able to catch the VOD later on and you can also check back here for our breakdown of all

Sony has made it clear that its 2021 PS5 Showcase will focus on PS5 games so hopefully that means well get updates on titles like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok. We already know a fair bit about Horizon - including its February 2022 release date - but God of War hasnt been shown off at all yet despite being announced over a year ago.

We're also looking forward to new game reveals, too, such as sequels to some of the best PS4 games. Given the rumors we've seen circulating for Death Stranding 2, we wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement during the showcase, and now that Insomniac is done with Ratchet and Clank it might have time to work on and tease a sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man.

Lastly, weve seen a rumor that the inFamous serious could make a return according to @Shpeshal_Nick on Twitter. Nick has had access to correct info before so it could be one to believe, but even they warn that its a rumor to take with a pinch of salt. However, Sony has recently updated the inFamous domain, which some fans have taken to mean it could be planning a sequel
soon. Well have to wait for the showcase tomorrow to know for sure. The best PS5 games : the PlayStation 5 games you need to play
