Summer Game Fest’s massive lineup includes PlayStation & Xbox
This year’s Summer Game Fest lineup includes over 30 developers and publishers, with the likes of PlayStation and Xbox confirmed to appear.
Summer Game Fest 2022 marks the Geoff Keighley-hosted event’s third year. After parting ways with E3 in early 2020, Keighley took his talents elsewhere and established a new type of gaming celebration for the summer months.
The event continues to grow, too. Last year’s showing especially moved the needle in terms of reach, evidenced by viewership stats that revealed the digital festival hit a peak of three-plus million concurrent viewers.
The host’s ability to secure heavy-hitters like the Elden Ring gameplay premiere no doubt amplified public interest. And with E3 2022 no longer in play, Summer Game Fest will once more sit at the center of attention in the coming days.

The next couple of weeks will prove a busy time for game enthusiasts. On June 2, Sony will host a 30-minute PlayStation State of Play stream packed with third-party reveals and news related to PSVR2. Xbox and Bethesda’s joint games showcase airs days after Summer Game Fest on June 12.
