Summer Game Fest 2025 LIVE: Build-up, event times and everything to expect from this year's showcase

Summer Game Fest 2025 is about to get underway for another year and, following yesterday's launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 and Sony's recent State of Play, gamers are being spoilt this week.

The spiritual successor to E3, SGF is the annual celebration of video games and the creators and we're totally here for it. We'll be following all the announcements as they happen live — with a bit of expert analysis from our clutch of in-house game experts here at Tom's Guide.

The event begins with a live showcase broadcast direct from the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles today, June 6, at 5pm ET/ 2PM PT followed by a host of other events running across the weekend. Look out for the Xbox Games Showcase taking place on Sunday.

Summer Game Fest: Watch live

LIVE — Latest Updates

Welcome!

Welcome to our Summer Game Fest 2025 live blog! What are we expecting from this year's event? In short, a lot.

Sony has already pulled the trigger with its State of Play 2025 livestream earlier this week revealing the likes of 007 First Light, Silent Hill f and Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles.

On the PC front we may see updates on titles like The Witcher 4 and maybe even a snifter of Resident Evil 9 (unlikely) from Capcom.

We could also get some details on the rumored Xbox handheld collaboration between Asus and Microsoft. It’s unlikely to take the wind out of Nintendo’s sails, as there will surely be a heap of Switch 2 announcements from game studios too.
