Geoff Keighley's live Summer Game Fest 2023 showcase gets June air date
We already knew Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest was set to return next year, but organisers now have a date for diaries everywhere, with 2023’s live showcase set to air on 8th June. Things are a little bit different in 2023, however, and next year’s event marks the first time Summer Game Fest will be open to the public.
The show – which promises a mix of premieres, live gameplay demos, and announcements – will take place at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, in front of a live audience of fans. Tickets go on sale in “early” 2023, but for those unable or uninterested in attending in-person, Summer Game Fest will also stream live on all major streaming platforms.
Summer Game Fest 2023 marks the event’s fourth year of operation, and, as is now customary, the live showcase will kickstart a season of smaller events and showcases from participating developers and publishers. Specifics will follow at a later date.
Perhaps notably, Summer Game Fest’s big opening event will pip next year’s revamped E3 (being operated by Eurogamer parent company Reedpop) to the post. E3’s physical show, its first since 2019, is set to run between 13th and 16th June.
