The segment promises &#8220;deep dives into upcoming games from game studios in Japan and Asia, including new gameplay, announcements, and more,&#8221; and runs in Japanese with English subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>For Singapore gamers, this is arguably the more interesting window. Japan-adjacent titles \u2014 smaller-budget JRPGs, visual novels, action games from mid-tier publishers \u2014 rarely get the spotlight in the English-language State of Play, but frequently land on PlayStation and are widely available in Singapore. The Japan broadcast is where that pipeline tends to surface.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/playstation-state-of-play-september-2026.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PlayStation State of Play and State of Play Japan September 2026\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of PlayStation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How to Watch from Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>Both shows stream live at <strong>9pm SGT on Thursday, 3 September<\/strong> via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playstation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlayStation YouTube channel<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/playstation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlayStation Twitch channel<\/a>.

We&#8217;ve followed every reveal <a href=\"\/blog\/ff7-revelation-vincent-cid-gamescom-2026-trailer\/\">including the Gamescom deep dive<\/a>, and the game is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of early 2027 for PS5 owners in Singapore.
