How to watch the Summer Game Fest showcase

You will see updates and announcements for many games on all platforms.

The Summer Game Fest (SGF) in Los Angeles promises to be a blockbuster with no less than 18 events scheduled from June 2 to 8. The highlight is tomorrow's showcase hosted by Geoff Keighley and Lucy James with news, updates and announcements for video games across all platforms. It will be streamed live on YouTube (in 4K 60p!) and Twitch on Friday, June 5 at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. EST).

This year, we're expecting (or hoping) to hear about titles that are due for updates like Gears of War: E-Day, Fable (freshly delayed), Mortal Shell II, Clockwork Revolution, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Minecraft Dungeons II – another game we've had few details for so far. Bethesda could give us news about Fallout 3, Blade or even Wolfenstein, and Activision could reveal more about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, announced last week.

As mentioned, many smaller events will also take place this year. The festivities kicked off on June 2 with Sony's State of Play, which included Insomniac's comically violent Marvel's Wolverine, as well as Onimusha: Way Of The Sword, RollerGirl and more. Other showcases this year include Women-Led Games (June 5 at 4 p.m. PT), Indie Games Developer Day (June 6 at 4 p.m. PT), and the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7 at 10 a.m. PT. A full schedule can be found here.

SGF comes at a tricky time this year, with gaming hardware prices skyrocketing across platforms and studios canceling games and laying off employees left and right. The industry is also gearing up for the November 19 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is sure to overshadow other games released this year.
