When is Summer Game Fest 2026: date and time and where to see all events and conferences

Summer is approaching, and with it, the 2026 World Cup… But anyway, before the ball starts rolling, we’ll have the 2026 Summer Game Fest, which will feature plenty of announcements about what we love most: video games. This summer, we won’t have the same anticipation for Hollow Knight: Silksong as in previous years, which means we’re free to look forward to major announcements, release dates for titles we’ve seen in recent years, and everything in between. So, get out your calendar and mark down the presentations we’re expecting in a few weeks.
