Summer Game Fest 2023: dates, time, and everything you need to know about the event

The month of June is approaching and as usual, with it begin to arrive the big video game conferences of the year. Although E3 is nowhere to be seen, a good number of events (such as the recently announced Xbox Showcase & Starfield Direct) are willing to take over the time frame, and the most important of all is looking to be Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, already consolidated after several years of announcements and surprises. Let’s review all of the information currently available to see when this year’s edition is to be held, how to see it and what we can expect from it.

What can we expect from Summer Game Fest 2023?

The official account of the event in social media told fans that: “Video game summer isn’t canceled”(a clear stab at the cancelation of E3 2023). “Summer Game Fest returns this June, featuring events, announcements and updates from more than 25 of the industry’s leading publishers, platforms and developers.”.

That would imply a minimum of 25 games that will be paraded throughout the event. And knowing the background of it, many will be confirmed in the days before. Although he likes to save some surprises, Geoff Keihley is used to keeping our hype levels high with small hints of the vast majority of things we can expect. In fact, he has already confirmed one: Cyberpunk 2077′s expansion, Phantom Libery.

We’ll see who else signs up for the party and something else, expect the event to be long. There will be more than one commercial break and you only need to ook back at the three hours it lasted last year to understand that a bowl of popcorn might not be enough.

How to see the Summer Game Fest?

The Summer Game Fest 2023 can be followed through the usual channels, which we remind you are the same ones used to broadcast The Game Awards. The reason? That behind both events is the same master of ceremonies, Geoff Keighley. Therefore, do not be surprised if you see that the Youtube or Twitch accounts of the event are not called Summer Game Fest.
