A direct competitor to E3 as the biggest video game show of the year, the Summer Game Fest is fast approaching, synonymous with an eventful summer gaming season.
The flagship event of Geoff Keighley, the undisputed star of the video game world, the Summer Game Fest has succeeded in establishing itself for three years as an essential moment for the industry. This event created in the midst of the COVID crisis in 2020 left its online status in 2022 to offer us a week of shows to make the famous E3 show blush. It must be said that the latter suffered a little more from the pandemic, canceled in 2020 and 2022, leaving more room for the growth of its competitor, before finally disappearing in 2023.
The Summer Game Fest 2023 has been announced for June 8, live from the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. Of course, the particularity of the Summer Game Fest lies in its festival form. The June 8 broadcast will not be the only video game and innovation-oriented event of the summer of 2023, and each major publisher should organize its own Summer Game Fest evening. As a reminder, in 2022, the official Summer Game Fest evening was the biggest event of the year, with announcements around Starfield, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and The Last of Us.

What to expect from Summer Game Fest 2023?
Summer Game Fest 2023 has finally taken the place of E3, after the three-E event was permanently canceled last spring. The more traditional of the two, namely E3, has been snubbed by three of the biggest players in the industry, if not the three biggest. Xbox, Nintendo and Sony. Absences that precipitated his dramatic fall. A good deal for Summer Game Fest since Sony’s State of Play, Nintendo Direct and Xbox
