Sony's first PlayStation 5 event focused on the 'future of gaming', showing off numerous exclusive PS5 games. Since then, we've been treated to a smaller State of Play live-stream focused on PlayStation 4 and PSVR games, and now, a closer look at the PS5.

As the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the marketing plans of most gaming companies, especially after E3's cancellation, Sony's plans for events are much more flexible and subject to change than they have been in previous years.

Will Sony hold another PS5 event? What will we see in the next State of Play?

Given we now know most of the key details about the PS5 and its launch window, this is likely the final event dedicated to the console in general, marking the end of 2020's Summer of Gaming.

This comes after Sid Shuman, the Senior Director of SIE Content Communications, stated in a PlayStation 5 blog post "we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!)", hinting this is to be the final look at the console.

However, this doesn't mean it will be radio silence from now until November 12. Sony likes to hold State of Play events dedicated to specific games, and so we wouldn't be surprised if Spider-Man: Miles Morales received this treatment closer to its release.
