Summer Game Fest is set to be a jam-packed few days of announcements and news from some of the biggest developers in the gaming industry - here’s how to watch

Summer Game Fest 2023 is almost here, kicking off the start of a packed June full of different gaming showcases. The event is partnered with big gaming companies including PlayStation and Xbox, as well as indie developers and will be full of news and announcements for the next year of gaming.

Summer Game Fest was launched in 2020 as an online event after gaming conferences were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The event will return following the cancellation of E3, where big name companies pulled out of the events, choosing to produce their own showcase announcements.

The game fest will see big announcements and events, including the Xbox Showcase, Ubisoft Forward and Capcom Showcase all happening this week. The event will also hold livestreams like Wholesome Direct and Day of the Devs which will focus on smaller companies and indie developers.
