The gaming industry is preparing for its most anticipated mid-year event: Summer Game Fest (SGF).
Created and hosted by veteran journalist Geoff Keighley, SGF has emerged as the industry's premier showcase, effectively succeeding the retired E3.
Originally launched in 2020 as a digital response to the pandemic, the festival has grown into a hybrid event blending live, in-person excitement with global digital streaming.
The 2026 edition is set to kick off on Friday, June 5, moving its flagship showcase to the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Fans worldwide can tune in for free across major platforms like YouTube and Twitch to witness world premieres, reveal trailers, and key announcements from the industry's biggest developers.
As a vital marketing stage for major publishers, SGF now serves as the industry’s primary barometer for upcoming holiday releases.
With tens of millions of viewers tuning in annually, Summer Game Fest has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of the modern gaming calendar.
