This weekend is the start of Summer Game Fest 2024 , a four-day stretch where various companies and groups will host showcases and broadcasts to show off upcoming video games. But just when are these various events and how can you watch them?
No worries, I've gathered all of the information you need to keep up with all of this year's not-E3 Summer Game Fest live stream showcases including dates, times, and embedded videos for the various broadcasts. I've also included a section on what to expect from this year's events if you're interested.
We know that a wide range of video game companies have partnered with Summer Game Fest this year. The event will be approximately two hours long and will be hosted, as always, by Geoff Keighley in Los Angeles, California.
Wholesome Direct is all about cozy games (and often very cute games) from various indie developers. Get ready for some adorable and potentially emotional video game announcements.
NOTE: Xbox Games Showcase 2024 will be immediately followed by the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct .
There are multiple places to watch the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 live stream due to the fact that the now acquired Bethesda and Activision Games accounts are still active. Outside of YouTube and Twitch, you can also watch the broadcast on Facebook.
Otherwise, I think it's a good idea to keep video game expectations low this year. After all, it's been a rather rough time in the gaming industry, full of dev layoffs and economic struggles. Not to mention, Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards host/founder, Geoff Keighley, has already warned people not to expect a "one more thing" reveal this year (thanks VG247 ). For those who need a refresher, historically, the most highly anticipated game trailer or an exciting new game announcement has been reserved until the very end as a way to end the showcase on a high note and this is what's meant by a "one more thing" reveal.
We've also be told not to expect Kingdom Hearts 4, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, The Wolf Among Us 2, Judas, or any Five Nights at Freddy's titles at this year's Summer Game Fest. (thanks Rock, Paper, Shotgun ). However, we are obviously getting Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 info during this video game weekend. It's very possible that we could also see Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Avowed, Fable 4, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
