PlayStation is teaming up with GEA Live and RoadCo Entertainment to create the first-of-its-kind live music event that will bring the soundtrack of some of its biggest games to life. The event which will run from 2025 to 2026 is tagged ‘PlayStation The Concert’.
“Whether you realize it or not, music is connected to some of our strongest gaming memories,” said senior director of SIE Content Communications, Sid Shuman. “Whether it’s the rousing choir of the God of War games or the delicate flutes of Ghost of Tsushima, the PlayStation soundscape has created some of the most emotional moments I’ve experienced in entertainment”.

“PlayStation The Concert transports fans into the epic worlds of God of War, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, and Horizon franchises amongst many others that reflect our 30 years of making games that have not only captivated players but are celebrated for their breathtaking and immersive soundtracks too.”
Confirmed appearances for PlayStation The Concert include Bear McCreary (God of War), Ilan Eshkeri (Ghost of Tsushima), Joris De Man (Horizon), and Gustavo Santaolalla (The Last of Us).
According to Shuman, these legendary composers will use new “technology and world-class production” to transport fans to new heights where “multi-layered visuals, immersive surround sound, and an all-star ensemble” fuse classic and modern instruments.
