Summer Game Fest runs from June 5-8

It’s getting to be that time of year again. Summer Game Fest and will go until June 8. The Live Kickoff show will once again be hosted by Geoff Keighley and takes place on June 5 at 5PM ET. This is where we’ll see all of those juicy reveals and trailers.

The opening event will be streamed globally on just about every digital platform, including YouTube, Twitch, X and even Steam. Those in the Los Angeles area will be able to pick up tickets for the live show sometime in the Spring.

The kickoff event is just the beginning. There’s something called Play Days, which is an expo in downtown LA produced by iam8bit. This invite-only event promises “immersive exhibits and hands-on experiences from the industry’s leading publishers and developers.” Coverage of this will be shared across digital and social platforms.

There is, of course, another livestream scheduled for immediately after the kickoff. Day of the Devs: SGF Edition should provide us with even more trailers and reveals, this time for indie games.

Finally, there’s a “thought leadership event” on June 8 that’s primarily for developers and publishers. Game Business Live “brings together top industry voices on one stage for insightful discussions on key changes, challenges and opportunities shaping the global video game industry.”

We’ll be covering the event live and will have all of those trailers ready to go. After all, that’s pretty much the main reason people watch these things.
