The event will showcase several new features, with participation from the biggest companies in the industry, such as Ubisoft and Bandai Namco, and it also promises to bring a long-awaited surprise for game fans.
What can we expect from the Summer Game Fest 2025?
The Summer Game Fest is an event that started in 2020 as a digital alternative amid event cancellations worldwide. Ever since it takes place every year on a global scale, bringing together the biggest companies and channels with the sole purpose of showcasing the latest news and releases that directly impact the global gaming industry.
It’s a great opportunity for studios to spread their announcements, and also a great chance for those who are passionate about the video game universe to stay updated on the latest and most exciting news, or even those who want to start understanding this universe to get an idea of what it’s capable of providing.
The Summer Game Fest 2025, just like in previous years, will be streamed in a 100% digital format and will feature the participation of around 55 companies in total, including industry giants such as Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, EA, and many others. This year, the kick-off will be on June 6th with a live presentation from Geoff Keighley, the famous Canadian video game journalist.
