Everyone was suspicious. Some even said it was an open secret. Well, they were not wrong: we now have the official announcement of PlayStation Showcase 2023.
The official PlayStation account has surprised everyone in the middle of the Spanish siesta by announcing that the highly anticipated conference will take place on Wednesday, May 24th at 10 PM (Spanish time).
What is PlayStation Showcase
First of all, what is the Showcase? It is the name given to PlayStation’s conferences. Just like Nintendo has its Nintendo Direct and Xbox has its Xbox Games Showcase, Sony also has its own.
This prerecorded video format, exclusively streamed on social media and streaming platforms, has replaced the live events with stages and audiences, where the excitement was in seeing if everything went well… or not.
Since these new formats arrived, the classic essence of video game events has somewhat been lost. But life is about looking ahead, there’s no other way.
What to expect from the PlayStation Showcase
While we don’t know what they will be presenting, as it is top-secret, we can tell you that it is expected to last over an hour, focusing on games for PS5 and PS VR2. They will showcase exclusives, top-tier third-party titles, and some indies.
Just a reminder, the PlayStation Showcase will take place on Wednesday, May 24th at 1 PM PDT. Everyone should be on the lookout, as this could be the big one after a few lackluster years. If my memory serves me right, the last one was two years ago.
