Following shows from Nintendo and Microsoft, it’s now Sony’s turn to hold its first major showcase of the year. And it’s coming at the exact right moment, too. PlayStation has had a busy 2023 so far with Forspoken’s release in January and the February 22 launch of the PlayStation VR2. Now, the February 23 State of Play is its chance to highlight the most notable games coming to PS5 and PSVR2 throughout the rest of 2023. Sony has already confirmed that the presentation will feature Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, various other third-party PS5 games, and five new PSVR2 game announcements.
It’s shaping up to be a pretty packed show, albeit one that is not as focused on first-party titles as Nintendo and Microsoft’s early 2023 game showcases. Regardless, there will still be plenty of announcements and trailers here that PlayStation fans will want to pay attention to. For those that can’t or don’t want to watch the February 2023 State of Play live, we’re rounding up everything announced during the event right here.
5 games announced for PlayStation VR
The February 2023 State of Play started with a look at five upcoming PlayStation VR2 games. The first was a supernatural shooter called The Foglands. After that, we got a look at the PSVR2 port of Green Hell VR. Then, nDreams announced an FPS where players can manipulate gravity called Synapse. That was followed up by a trailer for the sci-fi shooter Journey to Foundation, based on Issac Asimov’s creation. Finally, we saw Before Your Eyes in VR. All of these games launch throughout 2023.
March’s PlayStation Plus games are revealed
During the presentation, Sony revealed the three games that will be free with the basic version of PlayStation Plus. They are Battlefield 2042 from EA and Dice, Minecraft Dungeons from Mojang and Xbox Game Studios, and Code Vein from Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Baldur’s Gate III is coming to PS5
Originally a Stadia and PC exclusive, Larian Studios announced that Baldur’s Gate III would come to PS5. We got a new trailer that showed a mix of cinematics and cRPG gameplay. For those looking for a classic-feeling RPG experience to sink their teeth into, this definitely looks like it’ll scratch that itch. Baldur’s Gate III will release for PS5 on August 31.
