From Playstation Blog:

https://blog.playstation.com/2020/08/03/state-of-play-returns-this-thursday-august-6/

It’s been a while… but State of Play returns this Thursday with a focus on third-party-published games coming to PS4 and PS VR. We’ll have a few PS5 game updates on third-party and indie titles you last saw in June’s PS5 showcase.

The episode is weighing in at 40+ minutes(!). We’ve got a great lineup in store featuring plenty of new gameplay footage and other game updates. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

And just to be super clear — there will be no PlayStation Studios updates in Thursday’s episode. There won’t be any updates around hardware, business, preorders, or dates either. On Thursday, our focus is squarely on showcasing some cool upcoming games coming to the broader PlayStation ecosystem. Should be fun!

The new State of Play episode airs Thursday, August 6 at 1:00pm Pacific Time / 4:00pm Eastern Time / 9:00pm BST, and you can watch it live on Twitch and YouTube.

See you Thursday!

I think they are still playing a game of chicken with Microsoft on the PS5 price announcement. Hopefully we'll still get the news by the end of the month. Regardless- should be a fun event displaying third party games. There are some rumors going around of some major timed exclusives deals.

It's good that they set the proper expectations for the show in general but is this show really needed if it's mainly for PS4?
This is a weird one.

Seems to be much lower importance than we were expecting, but already noticed on https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread/242985/confirmed-sony-state-of-play-august-6th-no-big-ps5-news/
