Summer Game Fest 2024 (aka Not-E3) will take place on June 7

With the warmer months looming ahead [cries in UK], there’s gonna be a number of video game expos and conference to look forward to. Although E3 is no longer with us – for good or ill – it’s at least being replaced by Summer Game Fest. Recently, the date for the event was confirmed.

As for what’s being showcased, we don’t know that just yet. You can expect there to be a decent amount of buzz surrounding the event as we get closer to June, though. For those who want to attend, public tickets will be going on sale from May 7.

When and where to watch Summer Game Fest 2024

As mentioned in a recent post from Geoff Keighley, SGF 2024 will be streaming live on Friday, June 7. Keighley describes it as a “cross-platform LIVE showcase of what’s next for video games.” A post on Twitter/X from the official Summer Game Fest account says it will be a two-hour event.

Last year’s Fest was a pretty big hit, especially after the cancellation of E3 following a few years of uncertainty about the event. Summer Games 2023 saw showcases from the likes of Capcom, Xbox (Starfield in particular – remember how hyped we were about that?), and Final Fantasy XVI.

Before the summer period hits though, there are some other events and conferences, such as PAX East (March 21), the London Games Festival (April 9), and more. We’ve also got Day of the Devs coming up this Sunday.

Keighley began Summer Game Fest in 2020 in the wake of COVID-19. The pandemic led to much of the world having to remain isolated, which resulted in in-person shows being cancelled.
