Summer Game Fest 2026 Start Date and Time

Summer Game Fest 2026 is set to kick off on June 5, 2026, at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT, with the main showcase being scheduled to run for around two hours. This year’s game fest will once again feature a live audience format and broadcast the event from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

While the opening show is the main highlight of the weekend, the Summer Game Fest is technically a multi-day event. Fans of the show can expect other showcases like Day of the Devs to follow immediately after the main event, carrying on until June 8, 2026. Here is a breakdown of all of the events that will take place during the SGF weekend:

Where to Watch Summer Game Fest 2026

Just like previous SGF events, you can watch Summer Game Fest 2026 on almost every major social and gaming platform. Since Summer Game Fest is designed as a digital-first event, you won’t need to fly out to the Dolby Theatre to experience the hype of new titles.

Fans can watch the livestream on The Game Awards’ YouTube channel, the official Summer Game Fest Twitch channel, or even the dedicated Steam livestream.

What to Expect from Summer Game Fest 2026?

Summer Game Fest has gained quite a reputation for itself over the years, and fans are hoping 2026 won’t be any different when it comes to announcements. Here’s what we’re expecting so far based on confirmed upcoming games of 2026.

GTA 6 – Rockstar Games

Starting things off with a bang, many players are looking to Rockstar Games for any scrap of news related to GTA 6 as it approaches its release window. With Rockstar standing firm on the November 19, 2026, release date for the title, fans are hoping to see a brand new trailer and maybe even open pre-orders for the game.

Marvel’s Wolverine – Insomniac Games

Fans can also expect a full gameplay reveal for Marvel’s Wolverine, which is also slated for a release later this year. While we do already have a gameplay trailer, Insomniac could showcase the game’s combat and overall gameplay in-depth.

Gears of War: E-Day – The Coalition

The next entry in the long-running Gears of War franchise, Gears of War: E-Day, is another likely candidate for Summer Game Fest 2026. The title, which will serve as a prequel and explore the events of Emergence Day, has been incredibly mysterious as of now, with very few details revealed so far. However, with a tentative 2026 release date for the title, fans can expect a new trailer or gameplay showcase for Gears of War: E-Day at SGF 2026.

Phantom Blade Zero – S-Games

One of the most highly anticipated action games in recent memory, Phantom Blade Zero is also set for a release in September 2026. S-Game participating in SGF this year could act as the final stretch of the marketing for the title, giving players the final trailer and hints towards the story of this unique wuxia action title.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet – Naughty Dog

Since Summer Game Fest 2026 will feature roughly 40 games during its two-hour runtime, fans are also hoping to get a first look at other titles like Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. This is Naughty Dog’s next project, and it has been kept heavily under wraps so far. The event could see another trailer release, showcasing some of the game’s combat and setting.

The Witcher 4 – CD Projekt Red

Furthermore, with The Witcher 4 in active development, CD Projekt Red could also make an appearance at the event. While the Unreal Engine tech demo that dropped last year looked phenomenal, players are hungry for more information on the fourth installment in this beloved franchise.

Confirmed Xbox Demos

Apart from all this, Xbox has already revealed the demos that will be available to play at Summer Game Fest 2026. These include:

• Grounded 2
• Aniimo
• Grave Seasons
• Gungrave Gore: Blood Heat
• Valor Mortis
• Erosion
• Don’t Fret
• Way to the Woods
• My Arms Are Longer Now

Of course, this isn’t close to the full list of games that players can expect at Summer Game Fest 2026. We will update this article as more information about the event is revealed.

A Durant trade was all but assured to take place. His representation had met with Phoenix, and they presented the Suns front office with Durant’s preferred destination. Houston made the list, and it felt like we had just been waiting to see when the deal was going to happen, and not if. 

Even though everyone knew he was being moved, the announcement seemed to surprise Durant. He was part of a panel at Fanatics Fest in New York City. The crowd erupted, and the host said that it seemed there was news about the star forward’s new team. She and the crowd informed him that he had been traded to Houston.

Here is more on Durant finding out that he was traded.

Kevin Durant finds out he was traded during Fanatics Fest

Fanatics Fest is a massive convention dedicated to sports. It is held in New York City and is largely a place for people to show off and acquire new sports memorabilia. With it being a Fanatics event, the apparel and merchandise giant pulled out all the stops and had panels with big athletes, and the WWE section even had wrestlers and fans making entrances down a make-shift ramp as fans showed off their favorite cosplays. 

MORE DURANT TRADE: Durant trade details

Durant was set to appear at an event with Cowboys rusher Micah Parsons. He was being interviewed by host Taylor Rooks, when all of a sudden the crowd broke out in a huge reaction and Rooks informed the forward that he had been traded to Houston.

1. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound

Let us start with a sprinkle of nostalgia, and I am pretty sure that the old-school fans will eat this up. Ragebound is a blood-soaked return to brutal, high-speed ninja action. It’s tough, stylish, and full of rage-fueled momentum. As soon as you enter the platformer, you will notice that Team Ninja isn’t messing around.

Stylish, fast, and downright savage. Morbid Metal lets you shapeshift mid-combat between four killer androids, chaining attacks with style. It’s Devil May Cry with cyberpunk flair and just the right amount of attitude. Don’t believe us? Here’s a full Morbid Metal hands-on we penned down recently. Check it out and feel the action yourself.

3. Bullet Yeeters

Yes, that’s really the name. Bullet Yeeters is a topsy-turvy multiplayer mayhem where you yeet bullets, rockets, and each other. It’s dumb, chaotic, and ridiculously fun, where you bring friends or make enemies. And, there are more game modes in the demo than any AAA shooters have on their launch.

4. Robert on Earth

This mischievous alien-out-of-water story blends Untitled Goose Game-style mischief with heartfelt indie charm. You’re Robert, an alien who crash-lands on Earth, and you’re about to learn how weird humans really are. Yes, through farming, fishing, and doing human things, you will uncover the secrets of a new world.

5. Sparkball

Whether you are a fan of MOBAs like me, or a fan of soccer (also like me!), then voila! Sparkball can be the next entry in your library. This 4v4 sports brawler takes you on a rush of sweat, speed, and a lot of fun. If you love full-on, frantic MOBA with the best sports gameplay, then you cannot miss out on this Steam Next Fest demo.

6. UFL

Speaking of soccer, we finally have a new football game and I cannot be happier. EAFC domination is over, with a more crisp and technically better game in UFL. Unlicensed Football League kicks realism to the curb and brings arcade-style soccer fun back into fashion. It’s slick, responsive, and totally free of FIFA fluff. Just pure footie action.

7. Dead as Disco

GTA 6 is launching next year, and I feel it is the ideal time to soak some neon heat. Dead as Disco mashes martial arts with music video vibes in a neon-soaked Beat ‘Em Up where every hit moves to the rhythm. Step into the flashy shoes of Charlie Disco as he battles the wicked Idols to bring the band back together.

8. Starlight Re:Volver

Starlight Re:Volver is a co-op action roguelite for 1-4 players, blending nostalgic anime aesthetics with an MMO universe. From its central city, connect with fellow Divers to embark on thrilling adventures across dreamlike biomes, enjoying minigames, fishing, and crafting together. It’s one of the cozy vibe games that many gamers miss in the 2025 gaming scene.

9. SFERA

In SFERA, you’ll experience a unique action platformer that fuses modern 3D environments with classic retro 2D character sprites. As an elite assassin for the shadowy SFERA Corporation, your mission is clear: obliterate a rogue robot syndicate. It’s like Mega Man grew up, got a trench coat, and started taking out contracts.

10. Jump Ship

Forge your fellowship, for a new journey awaits! In Jump Ship, a co-op PvE adventure for up to four, your fate is tied to your comrades and your starship. Work as one crew, seamlessly moving from piloting your vessel to exploring alien worlds on foot and braving the void on spacewalks. Engage in pulse-pounding battles on land and in the dark expanse, and forever strive to keep your ship’s systems humming and armor plating reinforced – for your survival depends on it!

11. The Masquerade

I remember how Among Us swept across social media, and all gamers joined the SUS party. Since then, there haven’t been such fun party games. Well, developers Chewa are here to prove us wrong with The Masquerade.

The thrilling murder party game for 2 to 8 players is where you’re both the hunter and the hunted. Much like in Among Us, you’ll need to skillfully blend in by impersonating NPCs to hide from your pursuer, all while gathering crucial clues to unmask and eliminate your designated target.

12. Cameraman: The Pilot Episode

Although Resident Evil 9 has me hyped up for its release, I must say indie games are always solid in the horror genre. And, in the Steam Next Fest, we got another one. Step into Cameraman: The Pilot Episode, a psychological horror game where you bend time and gravity to survive.

The game takes inspiration from 80s TV, M.C. Escher, and the Backrooms. What you’ll explore are unsettling, ever-changing spaces. Like in Outlast, you’ll uncover dark secrets with just a VHS camcorder, facing anomalies as reality unravels around you.

Steam Next Fest only runs for a limited time, so don’t miss these best demos before they disappear. Download, play, wishlist, and maybe discover your next obsession. That said, which one is your favorite among these all? Let us know in the comments below!

9. Chronicles Medieval

It’s launching in Early Access on Steam in 2026. The game comes from Raw Power Games and will be narrated by the venomous Tom Hardy.

10. Mecha Break

Visually, The Beast looks closer to Harran than Villedor, a change that a majority of fans will welcome with open arms. Besides this, the title will feature gunplay from the jump, a mechanic surprisingly omitted from Dying Light 2 at launch. The trailer showed off the arsenal of weapons at Crane’s disposal, ranging from rapid assault rifles to scorching flamethrowers.

Of course, melee weapons of all shapes and sizes remain a core focus, so you’ll still be caving heads in using a bat and slicing zombies into a bloodied mess. In addition to this, the game will also come with functional vehicles, allowing you to mow down zombies from the comfort of a driver’s seat.

As for The Beast’s story, its events introduce us to a vengeful version of Kyle Crane, who’s on the hunt for the Baron after enduring 13 years of experimentation. The incessant testing has infused the character with beast-like powers, allowing him to tap into an uncapped rage that significantly buffs his powers and lets him throw hands against the mightiest of mutated creatures. All these gameplay elements, coupled with the franchise’s signature parkour, should make for the most enjoyable Dying Light yet.

We’ll find out if that’s the case when the game arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on August 22. Until then, let us know your impressions of the new trailer in the comments below.
