That's pretty much what State of Plays usually have been. Usually they're third party stuff, with maybe some small first party stuff - like a PC port. A few have been exclusively third party stuff.
That's generally why people have been pushing for "Showcases" specifically, because that has generally meant first party stuff.
There seems to be a shift in strategy this past year though, Saros would have been a showcase thing. Astro Bot was at a State of Play. Ghost of Yotei was at one.
I would also point out, that Sony doesn't put out monthly games like Nintendo does; so it's a lot harder for them to have good frequent shows based on their published content. 2023, their PS5 lineup was basically Spider-Man, 2 VR titles, and their yearly update of MLB The Show. Nintendo published 13 new games that year, and it feels generous to say that Sony published 4.

Yep, hopefully Sony figures out their stuff.
