Sony is broadcasting its June 2 State of Play to Alamo Drafthouse cinemas across the United States, the first theatrical showing of a PlayStation event since 2018. Before the stream even airs, the special themed food and drink menu has already made its way online, courtesy of a viral post from Nico Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad.

The menu that got out before the show
Here's the lowdown: every item on the leaked menu ties directly to Marvel's Wolverine, which tells you exactly which game Sony is planning to put front and center on June 2. The four items are:
The names are all on-the-nose X-Men references. "Savage" and "Rage" map to Wolverine's berserker persona, while "Last Stand" and "Mutant Instinct" pull from broader X-Men lore. Sony clearly had some fun with the branding here.
What this actually confirms (and what it doesn't)
The key here is that a themed menu tells you what Sony wants to lead with at the theatrical event, not the full scope of the broadcast. Marvel's Wolverine being the anchor title for Alamo Drafthouse screenings is a strong signal that the game will get significant stage time on June 2, but the rest of the State of Play lineup remains under wraps.
This is the first time PlayStation has sent a State of Play to cinemas since 2018, and Sony technically owns the Alamo Drafthouse chain, so the partnership makes sense. The theatrical format adds a layer of spectacle to what is usually a living-room streaming event, and a Wolverine-branded menu is exactly the kind of detail that makes the experience feel like a proper premiere night.
What most players miss in leaks like this: the food menu is designed to be a spoiler-free hype builder. If the menu had referenced five different game titles, it would have given away the broadcast's structure before a single frame aired. Keeping everything Wolverine-themed is a deliberate choice to generate buzz without burning the actual announcements.
Sony's theatrical gamble heading into June
Broadcasting a State of Play in cinemas is a meaningful escalation in how PlayStation presents its announcements. The move signals confidence in the June 2 lineup, because you don't put a show in front of a live theatre crowd unless you're comfortable with the reaction.
Marvel's Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games, has been one of the most anticipated PS5 exclusives since it was first announced. Centering the Alamo Drafthouse experience around the game suggests Sony is ready to show something substantial, whether that's a release date, extended gameplay, or both.
For anyone not attending a theatrical showing, the State of Play streams live on June 2. You'll want to check out game reviews after the announcements drop, and if you want to prep with everything PlayStation-related ahead of the show, the gaming guides hub has you covered. The Wolverine menu may have leaked early, but the actual announcements are still locked in for tomorrow night.
