PlayStation State of Play February 2025: All Announcements & Reveals

The year is still young, but Sony PlayStation is ready to unleash a torrent of new announcements and reveals as part of its latest State of Play presentation in February. From Housemarque’s next big game, release dates for big hitters, and surprise titles, this was a good show for those invested in the ecosystem.

If you have not had the chance to catch the showcase just yet, fret not. Here’s a recap of everything that was shown off at State of Play earlier.

Saros

Housemarque is back after the success of Returnal, and this time, there’s plenty of star power with Rahul Kohli taking on the role of Arjun Devraj, a “powerful Soltari Enforcer searching for answers on a lost off-world colony” in Saros. It may resemble a sequel to Returnal, but the game will feature “permanent progression systems,” and “every death reshapes the world while offering new upgrades to overcome challenges.” The game arrives in 2026.

Borderlands 4

It’s official, Borderlands 4 will be coming on September 23, packing even more new movement abilities, devastating action skills, and killer loot that awaits players on the dangerous new planet Kairos. The mayhem-fueled looter shooter will be jam-packed with billions of weapons, outrageous enemies, and intense co-op action.

The full Borderlands 4 gameplay reveal will debut during another State of Play coming later this spring.
