Summer Game Fest Live 2026 kicks off today with a two-hour showcase of new reveals

Summer Game Fest 2026 is live today from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Geoff Keighley hosting the seventh annual event alongside Lucy James.

What the heck is this thing anyway?

Summer Game Fest is Geoff Keighley’s baby. The journalist-turned-host willed it into existence back during the pandemic when E3 was on its deathbed.
