Summer Game Fest 2026 Guide: A Complete Schedule Of Every June Gaming Showcase

It’s the beginning of June which means Summer Game Fest is officially kicking off. The week-long festival of gaming was engineered by Game Awards host Geoff Keighley to take E3’s spot after the ESA failed to get its act together coming out of the pandemic and let gaming’s once-iconic annual trade show fall apart. Good thing Summer Game Fest is here to fill the void. While Keighley’s main showcase is a one-day event, the week-long extravaganza is anchored this year by big PlayStation and Xbox showcases, and a dozen smaller game reveal events in between. Here’s the schedule for everything happening this week.
