The biggest event for PlayStation in 2023 takes place on May 24 at 3pm CT. That’s when the show begins, and Sony says that the show “will run a bit over an hour, focusing on PS5 and PS VR2 games in development from top studios from around the world.”

With Sony teasing that “a wealth of new games and new IP are headed to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2,” fans are hyped to see some new game announcements on top of fresh looks at existing games like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Death Stranding 2.

Sony also said that fans tuning in can expect “a glimpse at several new creations from PlayStation Studios, as well as spellbinding games from our third-party partners and indie creators.”

To watch the live stream event, simply tune in to PlayStation’s Twitch or YouTube channels on May 24 at 3pm CT. We’ve also embedded both the Twitch and YouTube videos below so you can watch them right here. The viewership should be massive, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to be tuning in across both websites to see what’s next for the gaming industry.

Even more viewers will be tuning in across co-streams of the event as top content creators and streamers will be watching along and providing commentary. But Sony warned streamers that the show may contain copyrighted music.
