Summer Game Fest 2024 is now the major gaming presentation of June after the announcement of E3's death last year.

It's not the only gaming showcase running this June though. Nintendo, Ubisoft and Xbox all have presentations planned for the weeks following Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. You'll also be able to get a look at upcoming indie titles thanks to the Access-Ability Summer Showcase and Wholesome Direct among others, and that's before we get to the other staples of the gaming conference season such as IGN Live and the PC Gaming Show.

Below you'll find a complete Summer Game Fest 2024 conference schedule as we know it so far, running in chronological order and including all of the shows which have been announced at time of writing. We'll also be regularly updating it with confirmed dates, times and additional events if they're announced.

With E3 confined to the eternal crypts, the Summer Game Fest Opening Showcase is now the main gaming presentation for, well, the summer. (Well done Geoff... You won...)

Here's every conference in order of which has yet to be broadcasted one-by-one:

PlayStation State of Play - Thursday 30th May

  • UK - 11pm (BST)
  • Europe - Midnight of Friday 31st May (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 6pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 3pm (PDT)

Announced just one day before its broadcast, the summer 2024 PlayStation State of play will last at least half an hour, and cover "PS5 and PS VR2 titles, plus a look at PlayStation Studios games arriving later this year". A total of 14 titles will be shown off during the stream that will be broadcast on YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok.

Let the Sony speculation commence! We wouldn't be surprised if God of War: Ragnarök's PC port was dated, seeing as leaker billbil_kun on X recently hinted it "will be announced very soon". Billbil-kun also recently claimed a new Astro bot game was set to be revealed soon.

Marvelous Showcase - Thursday 30th May

  • UK - 11pm (BST)
  • Europe - Midnight of Friday 31st May (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 6pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 3pm (PDT)

Marvelous will be broadcasting their own 30-minute showcase about their upcoming PC, mobile and arcade games. You can watch it on YouTube, with EN, DE, FR, and ES subs. While the publisher did not specify any particular games it would be announcing or providing updates on, there's speculation that we might get a look at a new Daemon x Machina game, and the latest entry in their Rune Factory series.

Silent Hill Transmission - Thursday 30th May

  • UK - Midnight of Friday 31st May (BST)
  • Europe - 1am of Friday 31st May (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 7pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 4pm (PDT)

If you're excited about the upcoming Silent Hill games, then you'll want to tune into Konami's dedicated Silent Hill Transmission broadcast on YouTube this Thursday. While we were perhaps expecting news about the Silent Hill 2 Remake to appear in, say, Sony's currently unannounced State of Play showcase, it looks like Konami are getting their foot in the door early with their own stream.

It won't just be Silent Hill 2 news that will be in the Transmission either, as it also promises a look at the upcoming film, merch and updates on the other announced Silent Hill games too.

Guerrilla Collective Online Showcase - Thursday 6th June

  • UK - 6pm (BST)
  • Europe - 7pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 1pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 10am (PDT)

The Guerrilla Collective Online Showcase can be watched on both YouTube and Twitch.

This showcase promises to bring a selection of new game reveals, trailers, interesting announcements and reveals, including taking a look at the gameplay for upcoming titles. While we don't know what games will be shown in the presentation at the time of writing, The MIX, who are in partnership with Guerrilla Collective, website lists titles like Until Then, Squirrel with a Gun and Undead West. Many of these titles were also shown during the Spring Games Showcase back in March 2024, so hopefully this is our chance to learn more about them.

IGN Live - Friday 7th June until Sunday 9th June

  • UK - 6pm (BST)
  • Europe - 7pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 1pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 10am (PDT)

IGN are holding a three-day live event in LA to coincide with Summer Game Fest this year. The in-person fan event will unveil a wide array of pop culture news across games, film, TV and more, including a sitdown with Xbox boss Phil Spencer, the head of Team Sonic, and former Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor director Stig Asmussen. There will also be over 100 playable games and demos at the event, and you can check out the full schedule on their website.

Access-Ability Summer Showcase 2024 - Friday 7th June

  • UK - 4pm (BST)
  • Europe - 5pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 11am (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 8am (PDT)

The Access-Ability Summer Showcase 2024 spotlights games, both recently released and upcoming, created by disabled developers. It will also take a look at accessibility settings and design choices crafted to help more disabled players enjoy games. Eurogamer found last year's Access-Ability to be a vital addition to the Summer Game Fest season, so it's definitely worth tuning in.

This showcase will be available on Twitch and YouTube, with American Sign Language, British Sign Language and Audio Described versions premiering at the same time.

Hosted by Laura Kate Dale, accessibility consultant and host of the weekly Access-Ability show on YouTube, the show will include exclusive trailers, release date and discussion about new gameplay features. It's already been confirmed that titles from Whitethorn Games, PlayTonic and Fiction Factory Games will be making an appearance, but there's sure to be other surprises! This includes a selection of special guests, with Arevya and SightlessKombat already confirmed.

Summer Game Fest 2024 Opening Showcase - Friday 7th June

  • UK - 10pm (BST)
  • Europe - 11pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 5pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 2pm (PDT)

With its return announced in March of this year, the Summer Game Fest 2024 Opening Showcase can be watched on YouTube and Twitch. While not confirmed at the time of writing, we wouldn't be surprised if you can also watch it on Tiktok and X (the social media platform formally known as Twitter) like last year.

The show will, once again, be two hours long. (Snacks are a must.) During this time, there will be a selection of world premieres and special guests who'll hopefully be able to say their piece without being drowned out by music.

There will be more than 55 partners appearing in this year's Summer Game Fest and, similar to 2023, Geoff Keighley recently posted the first list of partners on his X account. This list includes Annapurna Interactive, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Devolver Digital, PlayStation, Sega, Ubisoft and Xbox among many others. There are more partners waiting to be announced, so this list is certain to grow.

Day of The Devs 2024: Summer Game Fest Edition - Friday 7th June

  • UK - Midnight of Saturday 8th June (BST)
  • Europe - 1am of Saturday 8th June (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 7pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 4pm (PDT)

Just like 2023, the Day of The Devs 2024: Summer Game Fest Edition will immediately follow the Summer Game Fest 2024 Opening Showcase. It will be broadcasted over the same YouTube and Twitch channels, so there's no need to cross streams!

It's important to note that the start times listed above are based upon the estimated end-time of the Summer Game Fest 2024 Opening Showcase. Since that showcase is roughly two hours long, you can expect Day of the Devs to begin two hours after Summer Game Fest 2024. Technically difficulties do happen though, so there's always a chance it might start a little later.

The Day of The Devs showcases focus on indie titles and is run by a now fully independent non-profit organisation going under the same name. We don't know which games will be showcased at the time of writing, but we do know there will be some very interesting titles. If you'd like an idea of what kind of titles might make an appearance, take a look at our roundup for the Day of the Devs The Game Awards showcase. The official Day of the Devs website also lists all the games they showcase at various events, such as GDC. This year's GDC includes Simpler Times, Cataclismo and Hyper Light Breaker among others.

Devolver Direct - Friday 7th June

  • UK - 1am of Saturday 8th June (BST)
  • Europe - 2am of Saturday 8th June (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 8pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 5pm (PDT)

This year's Devolver Direct is also the 15th birthday party for Volvy - everyone's favourite mascot known for his big hand. For gaming. The 20 minute long party is sure to bring Devolver's traditional brand of fun as we all give Volvy a massive cheer, alongside game reveals, release dates and updates.

You'll be able to join Volvy's party on YouTube and Twitch.

While we don't know which games Volvy will be showing off yet, Devolver Digital has said they're 'exciting'. Hopefully we'll get another look at The Plucky Squire (release date wouldn't go amiss), Neva and The Crush House among other titles.

Future of Play Direct - Saturday 8th June

  • UK - 4pm (BST)
  • Europe - 5pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 11am (EDT)

V-tuber Melios the Andriod will be hosting the show, which promises to bring an array of launch annoucements from developers like Trinket Studios, Texel Raptor, Mighty Yell and Studio Pixel Punk. There also be new trailers, premiers and confirmed updates for Dungeon Clawler, Timberborn, Psychroma, Zodiac XXL and Airborne Empire.

  • UK - 5pm (BST)
  • Europe - 6pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 12pm (Noon) (EDT)

The Wholesome Direct shines a light on games with intricate storytelling, beautiful art design and unique gameplay. Last year's Wholesome Direct took a look at Venba, Kamaeru and Toasterball among many others. According to the official Wholesome Games X account, nearly 800 games were submitted for this year's showcase so there's certainly going to be some hidden gems on display!

  • Europe - 7pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 1pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 10am (PDT)

Xbox Games Showcase and Black Ops 6 Direct - Sunday 9th June

  • UK - 6pm (BST)
  • Europe - 7pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 1pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 10am (PDT)

The Xbox Games Showcase returns for Summer Games Fest once again and, like last year, it's divided into two halves. It will be broadcasted on YouTube and Twitch, with an American Sign Language version on the Xbox ASL Twitch channel.

Thanks to Xbox Wire, we know the first part of the showcase will focus on games from Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, Xbox Game Studios and third-party partners. When it comes to exactly which games will be shown, there's a chance we'll see Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the Shattered Space expansion for Starfield and a look at Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. (Whether the Fable reboot will make an appearance is yet to be seen.) According to The Verge's Tom Warren, who cites 'sources familiar with [Microsoft's] plan', we will also get a look at the next instalment in the Gears of War series, which Gears studio, The Coalition, have been working on.

On Thursday 23rd May, Xbox Wire also confirmed that the second part of the showcase, formally titled [REDACTED], was all about Black Ops 6 in an update to the showcase's annoucement. This didn't surprise many though as Black Ops 6 had already been speculated to be the spotlighted game. Make sure to tune in if you're a Black Ops fan!

PC Gaming Show - Sunday 9th June

  • UK - 9pm (BST)
  • Europe - 10pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 4pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 1pm (PDT)

It's the tenth anniversary of the PC Gaming Show! If you're planning on tuning in, then visit either YouTube, Twitch or Steam. Residents of China can watch the show on Bilibili.

As the name suggests, this showcase is all about PC gaming! According to PC Gamer, and it's their show so they'll know, over 50 games will be showcased during this year's show. This will include a mixture of developer interviews, world premieres and exclusive announcements. Considering last year's show saw the reveal of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, we should be in for a good surprise.

Ubisoft Forward - Monday 10th June

  • UK - 7.30pm (BST)
  • Europe - 8.30pm (CEST)
  • East Coast US - 2.30pm (EDT)
  • West Coast US - 11.30am (PDT)

Ubisoft has confirmed both the time and date of its Ubisoft Forward presentation, and you'll be able to watch this 30-minute showcase on YouTube and Twitch.

The publisher has also confirmed which games it'll be showing, too, including Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and more news on the recently released XDefiant. (And maybe if we wish really, really, really hard we might even get to see something from Beyond Good and Evil 2.)

Nintendo Direct - June 2024

Date and time to be confirmed.

Thanks to an announcement from Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo president, posted on the official Nintendo Corporate X account, we know there will be a Nintendo Direct sometime in June. At the time of writing, the exact date and time for this Direct are yet to be revealed, but we'll update this page once they are.

As usual, you'll be able to watch this Nintendo Direct on YouTube and Twitch.

It's important to note that while Furukawa's statement included a mention of the Switch 2, it will not be discussed during June's Direct. Though it is nice to know that the Switch's successor isn't just a product of our collective imagination with this post being the first time Nintendo has officially discussed it. (Let's be honest, dropping the news this way is a very Nintendo move.) Earlier this year, Eurogamer sources did confirm that the Switch 2 is on track for a 2025 launch so hopefully we'll finally get a look at the console before this year is out.

Hope you enjoy the summer game conferences!
