Summer Game Fest 2025 – How to watch, start time countdown, and more

Summer Game Fest (my heart still wants to call it E3) is back again for another year of world premieres, game trailers, and ads. And I can't wait. Geoff Keighley's showcase of the upcoming year of games is set for a big showing this year, especially considering the second half of 2025 is largely still shrouded in secrecy when it comes to upcoming releases. This means that the live stream may be chock-full of some actually huge news. Because of the uncertainty, this is also one of the more exciting years for Summer Game Fest. Literally just about anything could show up during the show, and you know Mr. Keighley will be brimming with hype to reveal what he's got up his sleeve, whether it's truly groundbreaking or not. Here's everything you need to know about Summer Game Fest 2025. Table of contents When is Summer Game Fest 2025?
