Sony State of Play 2020/8: Watch PS4 and PS5 live streams here

Today's State of Play live stream is almost here and has two goals.

Surprisingly, Sony has done a very good job of keeping expectations for this event low and has publicly stated what we can expect to see. No need to worry, though; they'll be showcasing PS5, PS4, and PS VR games for about 40 minutes, which should be just the thing for an afternoon of spectating.

In a blog post announcing the State of Play live stream, Sony's Sid Schuman said that the event is "focused on third-party games coming to PS4 and PS VR" and that "the last time you saw us at the PS5 showcase in June It specifies that there will be "PS5 game updates from third-party and indie titles".

Now, here's the information you need to watch today's State of Play live stream.

Sony has announced that the State of Play live stream will be available on PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels. You can follow along in the embedded video above.

The game we are most excited to see updated is "The Elden Ring," created by "Dark Souls" developer From Software in collaboration with "A Song of Ice and Fire" author George R.R. Martin. Major upcoming PS4 games include "Marvel's Avengers," "Cyberpunk 2077," and "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2," and perhaps we will see some fresh looks at these titles.

But "Resident Evil: The Village" seems the more likely title to be explored in depth; the PS5 gaming event left us in a state of terror.

Personally? I aim for the stars and seek the impossible: one of my fighting-game-obsessed colleagues said he'd lift his arcade machine for Virtua Fighter 6.

Oh, and for those of you who are getting excited about the PS5 price and pre-order news, Schumann has a bucket of ice water to calm your jets." And let me be super clear: "... No updates on hardware, business, reservations, or dates," Schumann writes.
