Summer Game Fest Comes to Los Angeles Again from June 6–9

Summer Game Fest is returning to Los Angeles for its fifth consecutive year, running from June 6 through June 9. Organized by producer and host Geoff Keighley—famed for The Game Awards—this year's event will once again kick off with a spectacular, in-person showcase at the YouTube Theater. For those who can’t attend onsite, the two-hour live show will be streamed across more than 20 platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Steam, ensuring global access for gaming enthusiasts.

Expanding Opportunities and Highlights

• Live Kickoff Show

  • A special two-hour presentation, complete with new game reveals and announcements, starts the festivities.

  • Physical tickets go on sale this spring for those seeking an in-person seat at the YouTube Theater.
