If you missed Summer Game Fest 2025, don’t sweat it – we’ve got your back with the hottest highlights, and why this event keeps gamers worldwide buzzing.
What Even is Summer Game Fest?
Summer Game Fest (SGF) kicked off in 2020 as a bold new way to unite gamers when the old-school giant, E3, was losing steam. Created by the legendary Geoff Keighley, it’s a free, global live-stream party packed with world premieres, dev interviews, and fan Q&As – no fancy passes needed.
Think of it like your favourite gaming festival, but streamed straight to your couch, with all the hype and none of the awkward press badges. Over time, SGF grew into a week-long extravaganza – mixing AAA blockbusters with indie gems, hands-on demos, and live streams from across the globe. When E3 was permanently cancelled in 2022, SGF stepped up and proved it’s the new midyear must-watch event for gamers everywhere.
