Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest has taken the spot of E3 in the gaming calendar, with this years show promising 2 hours of announcements from over 40 partners.
Summer Game Fest is the next stop on the gaming calendar, following the PlayStation Showcase two weeks ago where we got as look at handheld Project Q, and last week's Meta Quest Gaming Showcase. Geoff Keighley's showcase has been the de-facto replacement for E3 while the once-great convention struggles to adapt to the digital age spearheaded by the likes of Nintendo Direct – which showed publishers it was far easier to host their own online game showcases (such as the Xbox and Starfield Showcase later on this week).
Geoff Keighley announced via a Tweet that over 40 partners are involved in Summer Game Fest including the likes of PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, Capcom, and Square Enix. However, the wording of this Tweet refers to these partners being 'set to take part in Summer Game Fest activities', which doesn't necessarily confirm they will all be involved in the Summer Game Fest Opening Showcase live stream.
