Summer Game Fest 2024 date and time confirmed

E3 may be dead, but its spirit will once again hang around downtown Los Angeles this year for a week of game announcements and updates in early June.

Kicking things off, as has now become tradition, will be Summer Game Fest on Friday 7th June. The Geoff Keighley-fronted show will broadcast live from the YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles at 10pm UK time — that's 2pm Pacific or 5pm Eastern.

There's no word yet of what to expect, but plenty in the pipeline. Could this be where we see more of GTA 6, perhaps?

We're expecting other publishers to confirm their own separate shows in due course, with previous Not-E3 week holdouts such as Microsoft and Ubisoft likely running their own events in the days after.

The biggest question mark for the not-E3 week, perhaps, will be Nintendo. With Switch 2 seemingly still under wraps for a while yet, who knows what this summer will bring.

As ever, we'll be reporting from not-E3 week on the ground in LA, and from back here in the UK. Join us then!
