Summer Game Fest Live 2026: The biggest news, trailers, and announcements

Geoff Keighley’s annual June celebration of games is here. Summer Game Fest Live, the big live show that will feature a whole bunch of gaming news and announcements, begins at 5PM ET and is set to run for two hours. The event itself will take place in person at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, but it will also be streaming live on YouTube.

Summer Game Fest Live sits squarely in the middle of a big run of video game showcases; PlayStation hosted a State of Play on Tuesday, and the Xbox Games Showcase takes place on Sunday. That doesn’t mean there won’t be some big surprises, though. Last year, for example, Capcom used the show to announce Resident Evil Requiem. According to this year’s livestream’s description, expect a “live look at what’s next in video games, with new game announcements, surprise special guests and more,” and while that’s not very specific, Keighley probably has some flashy news in store.

Read on for our coverage of the biggest updates from the show.
