The party doesn’t stop at Summer Game Fest

This is going to be a busy weekend of game announcements and special events! One that is looking rather tasty is the PC Gaming Show.
With over 70 game trailers confirmed for the show, you’re sure to find out about a whole lot more games to add to your ever-growing Steam library… I swear I’m trying to keep up, but the watchful eye of Valve is judging how many titles have gone unplayed so far!
Anyway, my guilt aside, here’s a quick guide on how to watch the show and what to expect.

IOI Showcase time and date
IOI Showcase: Official Livestream – June 2025 – YouTube
Watch On
If the prospect of James Bond has got you shaken and stirred, then you’re going to want to tune into the IOI Showcase on June 6 that will hopefully feature a gameplay demo.
We’re also going to see lots more of IO Interactive’s other upcoming games, HITMAN World of Assassination and MindsEye.
IOI Showcase: 9pm ET / 6pm PT / 2am BST
Hakan Abrak, CEO at IO Interactive said: “IOI SHOWCASE celebrates our 25-year history with the HITMAN franchise and shares an in-depth look at the diverse future of our studio.
“We’ve prepared some truly exciting surprises.”

The name’s Bond…
007 First Light – Announcement Trailer – YouTube
Watch On
Hitman developer IO Interactive has been working on its new 007 game for awhile now but yesterday the team opened up and gave us a full announcement trailer for Bond’s upcoming adventure.
The reveal was part of Sony’s State of Play showcase, so we saw 007 First Light running on PS5 Pro at 60fps in Quality mode. What we don’t know is how our 26-year-old hero (yes, this is an origin story) will fare on the base PS5 or, indeed, the Nintendo Switch 2.
Hopefully we’ll have answers to those questions this week. And we can discuss them in the cocktail lounge over a couple of vodka martinis…

What about PlayStation?

Watch On
OK, so let me preface this by saying we just had a State of Play (you can watch the full thing above). It’s highly unlikely that Sony brings anything to Summer Games Fest.
But that’s not to say it’s never happened. But it’s even been reserved for first-party remasters (The Last of Us Part I appeared at SGF 2022), third-party exclusive reveals (Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at SGF 2023) or smaller indie exclusives.
So we could see more on the indie games that were announced at the show? Or Sony could lose its mind and show us a remastered Bloodborne… That could be huffing a whole lot of copium!

The Witcher 4, could we see more gameplay?

Watch On
CD Projekt Red has already blown us away with the quality of Cyberpunk 2077 on the Nintendo Switch 2 but what about the company’s hallmark franchise?
We’ve already seen an Unreal Engine 5 tech demo for The Witcher 4 (which looked jaw-dropping), but the company could make a big mark on SGF 2025 by giving us more of a gameplay reveal. We’ll see.

Nintendo Switch 2 — even more games

The dust hasn’t even settled on the Switch 2’s global release yesterday (by the way, we’re tracking all the Nintendo Switch 2 restocks live), we’re already into the Summer Game Fest. I’m expecting plenty of announcements regarding Nintendo’s new console from third-party studios.
I know a lot of people will be interested to learn more about Hollow Knight: Silksong after that sneak peek during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct livestream. Wow, that feels like a long time ago now…

Xbox Game Showcase: What games could we see?

Many of us may be tuning into the Xbox Game Showcase to hear about the rumored handheld hardware, but let’s not forget the games either. Microsoft could give us more details about Gears of War: Reloaded and possibly some news — maybe a release date — for Forza Horizon 6.
Personally, I want to hear about any DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle which, for my money, has been the best original Xbox game in a good long while.

Welcome!

Welcome to our Summer Game Fest 2025 live blog! What are we expecting from this year’s event? In short, a lot.
Sony has already pulled the trigger with its State of Play 2025 livestream earlier this week revealing the likes of 007 First Light, Silent Hill f and Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles.
On the PC front we may see updates on titles like The Witcher 4 and maybe even a snifter of Resident Evil 9 (unlikely) from Capcom.
We could also get some details on the rumored Xbox handheld collaboration between Asus and Microsoft. It’s unlikely to take the wind out of Nintendo’s sails, as there will surely be a heap of Switch 2 announcements from game studios too.
