With the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2, there wasn't enough crazy time in the gaming world in early June, and it was also when a lot of show-offs took place as part of the Summer Game Festival. Apart from two sensational events – the Summer Games Festival Live and the Xbox Games Showcase – there are many other events, including always a day for developers.
There may be more on the case file. It is always possible that Nintendo and Sony will go directly or in a state respectively in the next few weeks. Ubisoft hasn't announced this year's forward events yet – perhaps because it delayed a lot of big games and wasn't ready to talk about them. We haven't heard of Devolver Direct (C'Monnnn, we need Baby steps and Skating stories Release date has been! ).
The position of things, the SGF plans to be carried out from June 6 to June 8. E3 officially dies (the Organizer Entertainment Software Association is planning an industry-focused event next April), SGF is now the de facto replacement and the biggest event for the announcement, and updated this aspect of Gamescom.
We will update this preview to learn more details about the display cabinet, including other events in SGF Nebula. We will embed videos for each stream as they are available as well.
Engadget will face to face at SGF in Los Angeles, which is media and creators. We will give you a hands-on impression of many games in SGF Live.
However, most people keep up with everything about home. To do this, here’s a breakdown of how to watch the 2025 Summer Competition Festival and what to expect from the event (we’ll definitely get one Hollow Knight: Silk This release date is right? ! ? ! ).

How to watch the Summer Game Festival live – June 6, 5 pm ET
Watch YouTube or Twitch
On the timing of this display cabinet, our worries – on a Friday night in the UK, when many people on the East Coast watch the weekend clock time – the Summer Game Festival live broadcast was one of the larger events in early June. It starts at 5 p.m. ET and will last for two hours.
Organizers are expected to “spectacular new video game announcements, surprises and revelations”. It's very compelling, especially since host Geoff Keighley (righteously) downplayed expectations ahead of last year's show.
We do know a few games that will appear. SGF Live will include new viewing Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Soul-style action RPG from studio Leenzee from China. The game will arrive in July. Open World MMORPG Chrono Odyssey Will also appear.
Oh, of course it will be there. SGF Live took place a few weeks ago in Kojima Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Arrived, so we might peek at the game again. Perhaps there are other projects working on the island that will be in trouble.
Keighley also released an initial list of SGF partners. It includes big names like PlayStation, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox, Steam, 2K, Epic Games, and Square Enix. On the list is IO Interactive, so maybe we'll get more information about the James Bond game that Hitman Studio has been working for several years. Embark Studios is there too, given that there is a lot of hype around its upcoming extract shooter, Arc Raiderthere is high hopes for this release date. Most importantly, another peep may be too early Wizard 4 After the trailer was shown at the Game Awards in December. But CD Projekt Red will be in SGF, so you will never know…
You can watch SGF live streams on over 20 platforms including YouTube (this stream will be available in 4K at 60 fps), Twitch, X, Tiktok, Steam and International Services. The event will be live from YouTube Theatre and you can attend in person if you prefer.
Anyway, we will bring you all the main news from the Summer Competition Festival scene. We just can't guarantee that we won't have adult drinks at the cover event, next to the umbrella.

Microsoft's partner studios and publishers also always have room for space. Plus, you never know, we might peek at what Halo Studios is cooking.
