PlayStation recently hosted the first State of Play showcase event of 2023 to give fans a better look at upcoming titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Resident Evil 4, and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. The showcase featured some excellent reveals, but they fell short to meet the expectations of many PlayStation fans.
But those fans might not have to stay unhappy for a long-time, as the famous gaming inside Jeff Grubb has hinted at a PlayStation showcase to happen soon. The Japanese giants will reveal all their aces on that day, as this event would apparently mark “the second phase of PlayStation 5“.

Jeff Grubb was discussing the latest State of Play on his Game Mess Podcast. He claimed that the State of Play is meant to satisfy the co-marketing partners. It’s like a strategy to present a small bite of what they actually have in their bags. He further explained that Sony has been planning to host a bigger showcase event for a while.
The gaming insider shared, “They’re saving their good stuff for the PlayStation Showcase that’s gonna happen before E3. It was supposed to happen last fall, but they kept pushing back because their developers weren’t ready. But now that those developers are ready, they should have a massive show that really sets up the second phase of the PlayStation 5.”
Grubb might not be wrong as it’s been quite a while since Sony hosted any PlayStation Showcase event, as the last one happened in 2021. Further, many big names like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Naughty Dogs were missing from the latest State of Play. But fans should take it with a grain of salt, as Sony is yet to make any official announcement.
What do fans have to say about the possible PlayStation Showcase?
Fans have a mixed review of what Jeff Grubb said, as some of them are looking forward to it. They are also expecting to see big reveals like the upcoming Spider-Man gameplay. Meanwhile, there is another set of fans who don’t believe in what the gaming insider has to say. Let’s look into some of those reactions from the fans.

Today I had an exam in school. When I was done I raised my hand and yelled “Jeff Grubb!” My teacher smiled and took my paper. She knew I was finished.
