Best PAX East 2020 demos: The Last of Us 2, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and more
Here's what to check out on the Boston showfloor
Update: Sony has pulled out of PAX East amid growing concerns over the coronavirus. See our story covering their announcement here.
The best PAX East demo this year already has a strong contender in The Last of Us 2, but don't get your plans all set just yet - Sony has plenty more games for your consideration.
A new post on the PlayStation Blog lays out every PlayStation game that will be playable at PAX East 2020 in Boston. There are always a few surprise gems that pop up at every show so it's worth keeping your schedule loose, but two games already demand your attention: The Last of Us 2, as previously revealed, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
We'll update this page as more big PAX East demo plans are shared. Until then, here's the full list of PlayStation PAX East demos straight from Sony. If they don't have a booth number listed next to them, that means you can find them at Sony's main booth which will span #14047 and #12047.

That gives you 32 hours to hit all of those games, assuming you're there for the whole time. You'll have an easier time of it if you download the Experience PlayStation app ahead of time - Sony will post new appointment slots during every day of the show, so that will give you a chance to lock in a spot with your most-wanted demos.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
