PlayStation hosted its latest State of Play event on September 24, giving players updates on the latest hardware and software Sony's gaming brand and its associated studios are working on.
After a quiet few months, September has been very up-and-down for PlayStation with the failure of Concord, the critical acclaim of Astro Bot, the pretty disastrous reveal of the PS5 Pro and the fanfare of its reveal for limited edition PlayStation hardware celebrating its upcoming 30th anniversary.
But during its latest State of Play event, there were more than 20 updates on upcoming PS5 and PSVR2 titles as well as a look at some of the new hardware, such as consoles and controllers, that are releasing soon too.
Check out the full roundup of what was announced below.
