Everything We Saw At PlayStation’s October State Of Play

The show, which erred on the shorter side at just 20 minutes, promised new announcements and updates for forthcoming third-party releases heading to the PS4 and PS5. While that meant no PlayStation Studios games would be present, the show still had some hits to show off.

Notably,Little Devil Inside, a strange title first revealed in 2020, made its return during the show. However, reveals made up a majority.
