It’s that time of year again. Summer Game Fest kicks off this week, and we’re expecting to see new game trailers and other exciting updates during the two-hour-long presentation.

There might not be as many new game reveals as previous years, as Summer Game Fest host Geoff Keighley says this event is “largely focused on announced stuff.” Even still, the event is bound to have a few surprises. Here’s how and when you can catch the show.

What time does Summer Game Fest start?

Summer Game Fest starts on Friday, June 7th, at 5PM ET / 2PM PT.

That’s not the only gaming-focused show happening, either, as the indie game showcase Day of the Devs will air right after Summer Game Fest, followed by Devolver Digital’s game presentation at 8PM ET / 5PM PT.

Where can I watch Summer Game Fest?

Summer Game Fest will stream live on YouTube and Twitch. You can also watch the showcase from the video embedded at the top of this article. The Day of the Devs showcase and Devolver Digital Direct will air from the same livestream link.

What should I expect?

During a Q&A on Twitch, Keighley has tried to temper expectations, saying that “there definitely are things that are being announced” but not a lot of teasers for games that are “years and years out.” According to Keighley, that means no trailers for games like Grand Theft Auto VI, The Wolf Among Us 2, or Kingdom Hearts IV.

Some of the games confirmed to make an appearance include the already-announced Monster Hunter Wilds, the action RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. There could also be updates to the breakout hit Palworld and a trailer for the Among Us animated series. We shouldn’t count out the potential for other surprises, too.
