Revisiting the 2023 PlayStation Showcase

We examine the PlayStation Showcase in 2023 and the games that were shown. What new releases have been announced? What hasn't? Does the showcase look better or worse in retrospect?

Show Dot Points

• PlayStation's London Studio has closed, leading to discussions about studio closures in the gaming industry.
• Death Stranding 2 is progressing as planned, with motion capture and dialogue recording complete.
• There are rumours of a new PlayStation handheld that can run PS4 games, but the price, specs, and battery life will be important factors.
