Here's the Summer Game Fest 2025 schedule, including where to watch each showcase

It's almost time for Summer Game Fest 2025, so get to work on those backlogs before the games list grows even longer. This year's event schedule includes streams from major publishers like Xbox, indie-focused presentations from Wholesome Games, and even a broadcast from yours truly with the next PC Gaming Show.

As is tradition, the games industry will gather over a few days in June to make as many videogame announcements as humanly possible before dispersing until the next big thing. But no, this is still not E3 (that was cancelled in 2023), but don't sweat it if you're confused. What used to be one event has now fractured into more than a dozen. It's a lot to keep track of.

When is Summer Game Fest 2025?

Summer Game Fest 2025 begins on Friday, June 6, at 2 pm PDT / 5 pm EDT / 10 pm BST.

That's when Geoff Keighley kicks things off at the YouTube Theater with a two-hour broadcast revealing new games or offering updates on other unreleased projects. The YouTube embed above will show a trailer for SGF until the event goes live.

This year's event mostly takes place over the following weekend through June 8, but there are usually some outliers before, after, and during SGF's main few days that aren't officially d with SGF. I said it's not E3, but you can think of it like E3—everyone knows it's the big game announcement week, so they schedule their own thing.

The Summer Game Fest 2025 schedule

The Summer Game Fest 2025 schedule includes a number of smaller showcases held between June 4 and June 9, though there are even more streams not on the "official" list. Here's where to point your browser for a nearly nonstop flood of trailers.

Death Stranding 2 Game Premiere

Premiere doesn't quite seem like the right word for an event focused on a game we first covered in 2022, but we're not going to complain about a new Kojima trailer. The event will "celebrate the game’s launch with a discussion with special guests and an exclusive live demonstration of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach."
