The Summer Game Fest 2022 showcase is set for June 9, this coming Thursday. The “live cross-industry” event will include game announcements, reveals and a Day of the Devs indie games exhibition.

The event will also be shown in Imax Live theaters for the first time, along with the Game Awards in December. Keighley’s parents both work for Imax, as chief quality gurus.

Here’s everything you need to know…

How to watch Summer Game Fest 2022

You’ll be able to stream it on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and Facebook, or attend live screenings in Imax. We’ll also embed it here shortly before the event.

What to Expect

Last year’s Game Fest included our first look at gameplay for megahit Elden Ring, the announcement of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut on PS5 and Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Since the traditional video games event E3 has been canceled for this year, 2033’s Game Fest has less competition than normal.

That could mean publishers will be keen to drop some major announcements at this show. So it’s definitely worth tuning in.
