Sony's Aug. 6 'State of Play' event won't have 'big' PS5 announcements

Sony has another "State of Play" event coming up on August 6. But the company is eager to downplay what's going to be shown at the event. Happening this Thursday at 4 p.m. ET, the event will have "no big PS5 announcements." But it will still be a 40-minute stream featuring upcoming PlayStation 4 and PS VR games from third-party studios as well as "a few quick check-ins on third-party and indie games from June's PS5 showcase." So, if you plan on tuning in, don't get your hopes up too much. It still might be a substantial one, given the length of the event.
