The week that would have been E3 2022 is underway, and with the event canceled once again, video game companies are opting to host their own, more focused events. Sony’s State of Play, though often held throughout the year, is one of them.
Sony’s PlayStation broadcast kicked off Thursday on Twitch and YouTube, with announcements spanning Sony’s third-partner developers, as well as games in development for PlayStation VR2, like Horizon Forbidden West virtual-reality spinoff Horizon Call of the Mountain.
