The stakes are high for PlayStation fans who want to know more about the upcoming PlayStation Showcase which is expected to announce new games and information about a rumored PS5 upgrade.

If there's a chance that PlayStation Showcase is scheduled to kick off next week, it's reasonable for Sony to drop the details of the event as early as now or May 18.

As the most anticipated event is about to blow up, fans expect to hear more hints on what they could see ahead of this celebration.

The future of gaming is quite high stakes, given that Sony did not hold PlayStation Case in 2022. According to Gamerant, sources revealed that it's because of Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition. Fans who want to see a Blizzard-exclusive game did not see it coming last year.

Judging from the pattern of the event, the PS5 Showcases in 2020 and 2021 have different schedules. At one time, the event took place in September, but the next one was staged in June. Up to this day, it's still difficult to see when it's coming, and we can only hope to hear an official announcement from Sony before anything else.

When Could We Possibly See PlayStation Showcase 2023

There's a possibility that Sony's PS Showcase could likely fall on May 25. This could probably happen if the gaming firm announces the event on May 18.

Gamerant says that, in theory, it's reasonable for the company to drop the details this week if its schedule is slated for next week. However, knowing Sony, it's a rare sighting to see that it will make an announcement on weekends.

At the very least, some fans are hopeful that the PS5 Pro will be announced at the event. However, take this with a grain of salt for now.

What to Expect For PlayStation Showcase 2023

According to Digital Trends, the PlayStation Showcase can pave the way for the PS VR2, a newcomer to the VR industry.

Sony could unveil more improvements to this wearable device after its performance slowed down last year. Bringing new enhancements to PlayStation VR2 will pump up more players to invest in this gaming device.

Another thing that could arrive at the event is the live service games of Sony. Throughout the years, Sony has been working closely with other game studios in hopes of introducing live service.

When it comes to games, Gamingbolt shares a list of 10 games that could possibly pop up at the rumored PlayStation Showcase.
