PlayStation State of Play Might Arrive in March

In other news, in a recent conversation between Jeff Grub and Mike on the Game Mess Podcast, it seems as though, a new PlayStation State of Play event will be coming soon.

He also states that players can expect this event to arrive in a month or so.

PlayStation at Superbowl 57

PlayStation had teased that they would be showing up at the NFL Super Bowl. This was done through a GIF that was posted on the PlayStation Canada Instagram account, with an image of Mjolnir and a news ticker stating “Fimbulwinter at the Big Game?”. Many were wondering what this meant and now we know.

King Bach, popular comedian and influencer starred in the commercial where he came in as a news reporter stating that the game had come to a stop due to the unforeseen weather conditions. In the background, we see the stadium engulfed in snow and ice. He is then seen pushed off by Kratos and Atreus as they run towards the stadium to save the day.
