PlayStation announces two State of Play streams for Sept. 3

Alex Perry is a tech reporter at Mashable who primarily covers video games and consumer tech. There's a metaphorical truckload of video game releases arriving over the next couple of months, including Grand Theft Auto VI, but PlayStation still has some more announcements in store this week. Sony’s gaming arm announced a pair of State of Play streams that will air back-to-back on Thursday, Sept. 3, beginning at 9 a.m. PlayStation didn’t specify how long the streams will run, but we at least have some idea of what to expect. Altogether, we could be looking at at least an hour of new game announcements and trailers on Thursday morning.
