With the warmer months looming ahead [cries in UK], there’s gonna be a number of video game expos and conference to look forward to. Although E3 is no longer with us – for good or ill – it’s at least being replaced by Summer Game Fest. Recently, the date for the event was confirmed.

When and where to watch Summer Game Fest 2024
As mentioned in a recent post from Geoff Keighley, SGF 2024 will be streaming live on Friday, June 7. Keighley describes it as a “cross-platform LIVE showcase of what’s next for video games.” Apost on Twitter/Xfrom the official Summer Game Fest account says it will be a two-hour event.
Last year’s Fest was a pretty big hit, especially after the cancellation of E3 following a few years of uncertainty about the event. Summer Games 2023 saw showcases from the likes of Capcom, Xbox (Starfieldin particular – remember how hyped we were about that?), andFinal Fantasy XVI.
Before the summer period hits though, there are some other events and conferences, such as PAX East (March 21), the London Games Festival (April 9), and more. We’ve also gotDay of the Devscoming up this Sunday.
Keighley began Summer Game Fest in 2020 in the wake of COVID-19. The pandemic led to much of the world having to remain isolated, which resulted in in-person shows being cancelled.
