After skipping E3 for several years in a row, Sony has used its State of Play showcase to put the spotlight on some of its upcoming games and consoles.

Often, Sony would hold an event every February, which meant that fans were expected the console manufacturer to do the same this year.

After several weeks of waiting and speculation, Sony has finally confirmed that it's going to hold the highly successful affair soon.

According to Sony, its first State of Play event for this year is coming on February 2.

However, unlike what insiders previously suggested, Sony's upcoming act won't feature Hogwarts Legacy or God of War: Ragnarok or even Horizon Forbidden West as well as Sifu.

Instead, Sony detailed that the event will focus exclusively on Gran Turismo 7, which would make sense since the game will release on March 4.

Audiences are still holding out hope that Sony has a bigger State of Play event scheduled soon.

If it's any consolation, Gran Turismo 7 is shaping up to be the series' biggest entry yet, both literally and figuratively.

The only question now is if Polyphony Digital's efforts are enough for Gran Turismo 7 to outshine its main competitor, Forza Horizon 5.
