Summer Game Fest 2025, hosted by Geoff Keighley, kicks off today, June 6, at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET from the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. The event will be streamed live on the official YouTube and Twitch channels of The Game Awards and Summer Game Fest, as well as on X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Facebook, and Steam. This year’s program promises a packed schedule with over 60 participating companies, including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Steam, 2K, Epic Games, and Square Enix, ensuring a comprehensive celebration of the gaming industry.

The main showcase will run for two hours, featuring world premieres, new game announcements, and updates on highly anticipated titles. Immediately following the main event, the Day of the Devs showcase will spotlight indie games, offering a platform for smaller studios to reveal their latest projects. Specialized presentations such as the Wholesome Direct, Women-led Games Showcase, and Latin American Games Showcase will also be part of the festivities, highlighting the diversity and creativity within the industry.

Confirmed appearances include major publishers like Sega, Bandai Namco, Capcom, and Square Enix, with Xbox hosting its own digital-only showcase on June 8, focusing on titles like The Outer Worlds 2. PlayStation is expected to present the premiere of Death Stranding 2, while other teased games for today’s show include Mafia: The Old Country, Splitgate 2, and Fortnite. Hideo Kojima is among the special guests, set to discuss his upcoming project, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, ahead of its June 26 release.

Predictions for the show include the unveiling of Borderlands 4, updates on WWE 2K25 and NBA 2K, and possible first looks at Mafia: The Old Country and BioShock 4. With the absence of E3, Summer Game Fest has become the must-watch event for gaming fans, promising major announcements, surprise reveals, and a glimpse into the future of interactive entertainment.
