Co-streaming and VOD: what creators should know

PlayStation notes the broadcast may feature copyrighted content such as licensed music that falls outside its control. This could affect co-streams or VOD archives on some platforms. If you plan to save the show as a VOD, create recap videos, or repost clips, omit copyrighted music to reduce the risk of takedowns or audio muting.

Host and format

The event is hosted by Yuki Kaji, with segments spanning new trailers, interviews, and updates. The format mirrors prior State of Play showcases but is tailored to highlight creators from Japan and across Asia.

Final takeaway – a focused look at Asian development

For players, this is a concise, 40-plus-minute window into upcoming titles shaped by Japanese and wider Asian studios. If you plan to co-stream or clip the show, check your VOD settings and avoid licensed tracks. Otherwise, set a reminder for your time zone and tune in via the PlayStation YouTube channel with English subtitles.
