Summer Game Event Schedule: Nintendo Direct, Xbox, And All The Streams In June

The spirit of E3 lives on in June as publishers, game studios, and several other initiatives come together to host various livestreams. Only a few more weeks remain until there's an influx of broadcasts held online, and if you're looking to organize your schedule, we've rounded up a full list of everything announced so far.

Like previous years, one of the big events will be Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest on June 7. An annual event, this showcase is hosted in front of a live audience and is streamed across the globe. Microsoft is hosting its event on June 9, and while games for it haven't been confirmed yet, there's a good chance that Avowed, Indiana Jones, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will make appearances. The next entry in the Call of Duty franchise is also rumored to be the focus of a deep dive special immediately after the Xbox event.

More events will probably be announced in time as well, and we wouldn't be surprised if a new Devolver Direct or Mix|Guerrilla Collective livestream gets added to the schedule. You can check back here for updates to the list as soon as they're confirmed.

If you're looking for more expert insight--and some friendly banter--during several of these showcases, you can also tune into the GameSpot and Giant Bomb livestreams being held that weekend. All the major press conferences from the Summer Game Fest weekend will be streamed on GameSpot's channels, while Giant Bomb will be reacting to the press conferences.

There's also GameSpot Live to look forward to, a June 8-9 event that will see developers and publishers join us to talk about their new games after they've been showcased at Summer Game Fest. Giant Bomb @ Nite returns on June 9 and will be livestreamed from The Bellwether.

If you're interested in attending this Giant Bomb event, tickets are now on sale.

Summer Game Fest

Hosted by Geoff Keighley, Summer Game Fest has been home to some of the biggest reveals of the summer gaming season. Last year saw Mortal Kombat 1, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Alan Wake 2 headline Summer Game Fest, and a "full lineup of participants and activities" will kick off after the main show concludes. Now in its fifth year, this year's show is promising "new video game announcements, first-looks, and trailers."

Day of the Devs

Kicking off directly after Summer Game Fest, Day of the Devs from Double Fine and iam8bit is focused on indie games and the people who make them.

Access-Ability Showcase

Following last year's inaugural livestream, the Access-Ability Showcase is back again to show off more games made by disabled developers and the accessibility options available in each one. The showcase will focus on new games and the ways that accessibility for disabled players can be improved.

There will be a deep-dive special immediately after the main showcase, which is reportedly focused on Call of Duty.

Hosted by PC Gamer, the PC Gaming Show has been held annually since 2015. Originally launched as a response to how underrepresented PC gaming was at E3 (how the times have changed!) fans can expect new game debuts and trailers during the June showcase.

June 10

Ubisoft Forward

Ubisoft is staying tight-lipped as to what players can expect when it broadcasts live from LA this year, but some of its potential titles could be Star Wars Outlaws, the Splinter Cell remake, and Assassin's Creed Codename Red, amongst others. In February, Ubisoft said that it planned to reveal the "extent" of its lineup this month for the 2024-25 fiscal year, which could lead nicely to its June event.

June - TBA

Nintendo June Direct

Nintendo plays its cards close to its chest, and for this year's June Nintendo Direct, the company has revealed very little. What it has confirmed is that you might want to temper your expectations, as it plans to focus on games arriving for the Switch in the latter half of 2024 and it won't be discussing the Switch 2 console in this livestream.
