Sony fans are anxiously awaiting news about the nextPlayStation 5event. Rumors are swirling about Sony’s potential plans, but so far the company has made no official comment on the matter. However, one reporter is hinting that the nextPS5event may be nearer than expected. If their leak is to be believed, Sony will host an event in early August. A specific date isn’t provided, but a window after August 5 and before August 11 is insinuated.
The source is Games Rader’s very own Jeff Grubb, who has been leaking event dates throughout the summer. In fact, he very similarly leaked a window for theJune PS5 event, before it was unfortunately delayed. This new leak is exactly the same. Grubb didn’t provide a specific date for the August PS5 State of Play on his calendar. He did, however, place the State of Play between two other events.

On August 5, Grubb’s calendar has a listing down for “Rewatch GalaXy Quest” and on August 11, Grubb has an event named theFrontier Showcase. The listing for Sony’s next State of Play is placed between those two dates. The insinuation being that the State of Play will take place between August 6 and August 10.
This window would line up very well with previous rumors. One supposed insider claimed that the nextPS5 State of Play would take place on August 6, for instance. August 6 is also a Thursday, the weekday Sony held the last PS5 State of Play on as well as the date of State of Play that was delayed.
Some might presume that such a near date for the State of Play is crazy, butSony announced its previous even just days before the date of the event, too. In fact, it announced it the Friday before the event, which could mean that an announcement should be coming very soon, if true.
Rumors about what Sony will show during its August State of Play have also been spread recently. Specifically, there’s been a lot of talk about several third-party partnerships that Sony will reveal during its presentation. The biggest announcement being thelong-rumoredSilent Hillgamebeing developed in-house by Sony’sGravity Rushteam. Needless to say, it’s no wonder PlayStation fans are so excited for the next State of Play event.
