Summer Game Fest is set to air on June 5, and Geoff Keighley claims it’s going to be the biggest showcase in the event’s history. The anticipation surrounding Summer Game Fest has been building over the past few weeks, with many gamers eager to see what the event has in store.
It’s not always easy to know what to expect from Summer Game Fest, but one thing is always clear: there will be plenty of announcements. The first Summer Game Fest showcase was back in 2020, and it has since become the go-to summer event for major reveals. Whether it’s an update on a long-awaited game or an announcement for a brand-new title, Summer Game Fest brings a fun blend of AAA heavy hitters and indie titles into the spotlight. This year’s event has been shrouded in mystery, but Geoff Keighley is teasing some big things on the horizon.
Some Xbox Games Showcase Titles May Have Been Revealed Early
Fans have spotted some official marketing, which points to a number of upcoming games that could appear at the next Xbox Games Showcase.
Geoff Keighley Says That Summer Game Fest 2026 is the Event’s “Biggest Live Show Yet”
Keighley took to Twitter to tease the showcase and made some bold claims about what can be expected from this year’s broadcast when it goes live 2 PM PT/ 5 PM ET on Friday, June 5. There have been a handful of games confirmed for Summer Game Fest 2026, but that is more than likely just the tip of the iceberg. Summer Game Fest has taken up E3’s mantle as the premier gaming event of the season, and that sets the stage for plenty of surprises.

For example, last year marked the first official reveal of Resident Evil Requiem. There are already rumors that the long-awaited Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake will be present at the event, but this should be taken with a grain of salt until it is actually confirmed. Even though a lot of the Summer Game Fest games are being kept under wraps, that leaves a lot of room for some unexpected moments.
Where to Watch Summer Game Fest
Summer Game Fest’s June 5 showcase isn’t the only big gaming event planned for this week, either. The next Sony State of Play and the annual Xbox Games Showcase will bookend Summer Game Fest, with the former premiering on June 2 and the latter going live on June 7. Sony’s new State of Play broadcast is expected to feature another look at Marvel’s Wolverine, and there are also hopes that it addresses the recent whisperings going around about the rumored God of War game that could potentially star Faye.

When it comes to the Xbox Games Showcase, it’s a little clearer which games will be present. There will be a dedicated post-show deep dive into the highly anticipated Gears of War: E-Day. Now that Fable has been delayed again, it will be interesting to see if it will have a significant presence at the showcase. Whether one’s a PlayStation die-hard, an Xbox lover, or is simply excited about game announcements and updates, this week is set to be filled with a lot of titles.
