The summer season of gaming showcases and announcements is fast approaching, and Geoff Keighley has kicked the proceedings off with a little hype trailer for the annual Summer Game Fest showcase.

To the tune of In the Stars by The Rolling Stones, he recounts the 2026 game releases so far and teases what's to come. While being part of the trailer doesn't mean there'll be reveals for those titles during the show, Keighley highlights games like Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, and Control Resonant.

We'll have a full Summer Game Fest 2026 guide available later in the month, but for now, the show begins at:

  • North America: 2pm PDT / 3pm MDT / 4pm CDT / 5pm EDT
  • UK/Ire: 10pm BST
  • Europe: 11pm CEST / 12am (Sat) EEST
  • Asia/Oceania: 6am (Sat) JST / 5am (Sat) AWST / 7am (Sat) AEST

A replacement for E3, this year's show has the potential to be a major one. This could be where we see Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, and with GTA 6 looming in November, we'll need to see how the gaming calendar shapes up before and after its launch as release dates get announced.

An Xbox Games Showcase is already revealed to be taking place in the days after the livestream, and Sony usually puts on a State of Play during the same timeframe, generally at the end of May.
