2026 Summer Gaming Events Schedule
Summer Game Fest kicks off June 5 at 2:00 PM PT, plus a PlayStation State of Play June 2 and the Xbox Games Showcase June 7 at 10:00 AM PT.
It feels like the summer showcase lineup adds a few more entries every year, and 2026 is no different, with nearly twenty streams crammed into a single week. The anchor is still Summer Game Fest, back at the Dolby Theatre on Friday, June 5 at 2:00 PM Pacific (5:00 PM Eastern). Like last year, PlayStation is running a State of Play a few days ahead of the main show, this time on June 2 with Marvel’s Wolverine leading the way. Nintendo, true to form, is doing its own thing. The Xbox Games Showcase caps the week on Sunday, June 7 at 10:00 AM Pacific (1:00 PM Eastern), with a Gears of War: E-Day Direct right after. Here’s the whole schedule, and we’ll keep it updated as more events get confirmed.
