This is going to be an important showcase for PlayStation, especially as the company is skipping E3 2019 and opted out of the 2018 PlayStation Experience. It's the first time PlayStation has chosen not to have some sort of presence at an E3 expo in the history of the event.

"We have a lot of progress that we're making in our games," Sony Interactive Entertainment Chairman Shawn Layden said when speaking on the team not hosting PSX 2018. "Now that we have Spider-Man out the door, we're looking down into 2019 to games like Dreams and Days Gone. But we wouldn't have enough to bring people all together in some location in North America to have that event."

So it looks like we can expect some pretty big reveals and first looks at some new games when the event gets underway. You can check out the event via Sony's official channels on Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, but don't forget to tune into State of Play today right here at Shacknews at 2:00 PM PT/5:00 PM ET and see what's next for PlayStation.
