The September PlayStation State of Play has come and gone and with it was a handful of new PS5 game reveals and some meaty updates on existing titles. Ghostbusters is making the jump to VR. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has a release date. Ada Wong is finally starting her mission in Resident Evil. Honkai Star Rail is pulling into the Play-station (I'm sorry) sooner than we expected. And that's just the start.

Our State of Play recap breaks down everything Sony showed off and includes trailers so you can catch up on anything you might’ve missed.

Sony September PlayStation State of Play 2023: Every game announced

Sony kicked things off with an indie game that follows an unusual premise.

Baby Steps

Baby Steps follows a pajama-wearing man following a shattered road up a mountain. There's probably a metaphor in that, but what it means for you is navigating muddy inclines, narrow paths, and dangerous situations like an actual human. Unlike your usual video game hero, this man moves like you and me - no feats of daring here.

Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord (PS VR 2)

Ghostbusters is coming to VR, with all the benefits of Sony's PS VR 2 headset, including 4K visuals, advanced eye tracking, and more. There's plenty of ghosts, gadgets, portals to other dimensions, and more in store, when Rise of the Ghost Lord launches on Oct. 26, 2023.

New Spider-Man 2 trailer

Insomniac offered a deep dive into the New York of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, including a few new details. Spider-Man 2's New York is double the size of the PS4 original's, with two boroughs and an abundance of new quests and lore deep dives that unlock as you explore outside the main story.

Honkai Star Rail on PS5

HoYoverse

Honkai Star Rail is finally launching on PS5. Check out our Star Rail PS5 coverage for more details.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora trailer

Ubisoft slipped in a new Avatar trailer, and while there's not a whole lot that we didn't see during summer's Ubisoft Forward, it sure does look pretty.

Ghostrunner 2 demo trailer

Ghostrunner 2 is coming up soon, and you can get a taste of it now in a new demo.

Helldivers 2 gameplay trailer

If you wanted to see a few minutes of slightly awkward Helldivers 2 footage with the dev team playing, you're in luck.

Capcom showed Resident Evil 4 remake on PS VR 2 and announced the Separate Ways release date with a new trailer, which you can check out in our Separate Ways release date post.

Tales of Arise DLC announcement

Bandai Namco said there would be no Tales of Arise DLC or sequel, so naturally, Bandai Namco announced Tales of Arise DLC. It takes place one year after Arise ends, when the uneasy peace between worlds comes to an end.

Foamstars open beta announcement

Square Enix is hosting an open beta for Foamstars, its Splatoon-alike, from Sep. 29, 2023, through Oct. 1, 2023, but while the multiplayer game will launch on PS4 and PS5, the beta is only open to PS5 players.
