Sony State of Play Wins 70% Approval From 6,551 Voters as God of War Laufey Leads

3 articles · Updated · Push Square · Jun 4

Summary

  • 70% of 6,551 Push Square readers rated Sony's latest State of Play positively, with 20% calling it excellent, 29% very good and 21% good.
  • God of War Laufey drove much of that response after Santa Monica showed 23 minutes of gameplay, cutscenes and set pieces, helping the reveal land despite pre-show leaks.
  • Reader comments also highlighted Marvel's Wolverine, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Rayman, though some viewers said God of War did most of the heavy lifting and noted concern over Naughty Dog's absence.
  • That 70% score makes the June 2026 showcase Push Square's second-best-rated State of Play on record, trailing only February 2026's 82% approval and far above November 2025's 15%.
