Sony’s latest State of Play event has achieved a notable milestone. As reports suggest, the event that aired on June 2 has crossed over 2.52 million views. In fact, the June 2022 State of Play has managed to beat all of Sony’s E3 press conferences and all the rest of State of Plays to date, in views. However, the show, which ran for almost 30 minutes, did unfold a lot of surprises for fans.
Sony hosted its first State of Play event back in March 2019, revealing 10 games. Since then, it was only an upward curve for the Japanese giant’s YouTube career. As of now, Sony has successfully hosted 12 SOP events, with 2 dedicated events for Horizon Forbidden West and Hogwarts Legacy.
