By Geoff has returned, back once more
Ahh, we’re nearly getting comfortable following this year’s showcase period, as the autumn gaming rush is set to kick off here in late 2025. Well, true to form, this industry just continues to advance – and today, The Game Awards presenter Geoff Keighley has disclosed the date for their Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase.
Indeed, the unofficial substitute for E3 will hold its opening showcase on Friday, June 5th, 2026. Keighley mentions fans can anticipate “a magnificent, cross-platform showcase of what’s next in gaming”, with public tickets for the occasion going on sale next spring.
There’s a venue alteration next year too, with Summer Game Fest 2026 occurring at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Following the fest’s June 5th live showcase, you can expect numerous hands-on impressions for forthcoming games to be shared as journalists and critics gather in LA.
Regarding what else will transpire around that time, even though this is the first significant announcement for next summer, we can start to speculate on what might debut around a similar timeframe. Based on past years, we would anticipate the Xbox Games Showcase to broadcast that Sunday on June 7th – which we’ll certainly be fully engaged with here at Pure Xbox.
