Summer Game Fest Live 2026: All The Biggest Announcements And Games
Overview & Key Takeaways
The calendar has turned to June, which means it is now time for the season of game trailers and announcements. We saw PlayStation's State of Play earlier this week, and today Geoff Keighley took the stage for Summer Game Fest Live 2026.
Fortnite, Star Wars: Zero Company, and new racing game Clutch all teased a presence at the show, but other than that, there were not as many direct hints as there have been in previous years. A few games were rumored, and there's the growing specter of Grand Theft Auto VI as the industry careens towards its November release date, but that didn't show up.
