Everything from Sony's State of Play you can play right now

Sony's State of Play didn't just show trailers — several games landed immediately after their announcements, from demos to a full port.

Final Fantasy Resonance, an HD-2D RPG built on the story of mobile game Brave Exvius, has a demo out now on PS5, PC, Switch, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S. The demo covers the first chapter and carries progress into the full game, which launches October 22. Keeper — the surreal Double Fine title from Headlander and Stacking designer Lee Petty, where you explore a crumbling world as a lighthouse and its bird companion — got a PS5 port today alongside a price drop and a new psychedelic mode. Originally released in October 2025 as an Xbox exclusive, it's making its PlayStation debut now that Double Fine is independent again. Stupid Never Dies, an action game from Capcom veteran Hiroyuki Kobayashi — known for Dino Crisis and Dragon's Dogma — also has a two-hour demo live now, with progress carrying over to the full release on October 21. Finally, SlashZero, a fast-paced anime-aesthetic action roguelite where you play a time hacker hunting an entity called Hieros-I, dropped a limited-time PS5 demo today ahead of its spring release.

State of Play shadow drops have become one of Sony's reliable showcase tricks, and this batch covers a solid range — a nostalgia-heavy JRPG, an overlooked indie getting a second chance, a flashy action game from a recognizable Capcom name, and a stylish roguelite. Keeper in particular is worth a look: it slipped past most players last year, and the PS5 port gives it a real shot at a wider audience.

If you want to sample what's coming this autumn before committing, the Final Fantasy Resonance and Stupid Never Dies demos are the obvious starting points — both carry progress forward, so time spent in them isn't wasted.
