PlayStation's next State of Play begins on Thursday, September 3 at 4:00 PM Israel time. Sony Interactive Entertainment will stream it on PlayStation's official YouTube and Twitch channels, then move directly into a separate State of Play Japan broadcast. The double program is the useful part of the announcement: viewers are getting one global showcase followed by a second presentation focused on developers in Japan and Asia.
Sony lists the start as 6:00 AM Pacific, 9:00 AM Eastern, 3:00 PM Central European Summer Time and 10:00 PM in Japan. The 4:00 PM Israel conversion follows the country's daylight-saving offset on September 3; viewers adding a reminder should use the local calendar time rather than one of Sony's regional examples.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the only named closing feature
Sony says the first broadcast will include updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners. It will close with an extended look at the world of Final Fantasy VII Revelation from Square Enix. That is the only game Sony has explicitly attached to a defined slot, so lists of additional games circulating before the show should be treated as predictions rather than a confirmed lineup.
Sony has not published a runtime for either presentation. The lack of a duration means the announcement does not support claims about how many games will appear, how long the Final Fantasy segment will run or whether every first-party studio will participate.
State of Play Japan is a second show, not a subtitle track
The second broadcast will once again be hosted by Japanese voice actor Yuki Kaji. Sony describes it as a deeper look at upcoming games from studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay and announcements. The main State of Play will air in English with Japanese subtitles available; State of Play Japan will air in Japanese with English subtitles.
Because the programs are consecutive, there is no separate start time for the Japan-focused segment in Sony's notice. Anyone interested in that half should begin with the main 4:00 PM stream and stay through the handoff. An unofficial countdown based on an assumed runtime could miss the start, since Sony has not supplied one.
Creators planning a recap should also note Sony's rights warning. The company welcomes co-streams, but says licensed music outside its control may interfere with a saved VOD or reposted clips. Watching live is straightforward; archiving the whole program with its soundtrack may not be.
