Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, which saw record viewership in 2025, is moving to a new venue for 2026. The show will now be held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, famous as the home of the Academy Awards. Summer Game Fest has quickly become a major event for the video game industry, showcasing announcements from both large and independent game developers, as well as involvement from Hollywood studios. The move to the Dolby Theatre is expected to build on that success.
Many consider Summer Game Fest to be a top video game showcase. It started as an online event meant to fill the void left by the cancellation of E3, but it has since become a popular annual event. Each year, people in the gaming industry, the media, and fans eagerly await the latest game announcements. Summer Game Fest 2026 will offer both an in-person experience and an online livestream, and this year it’s being held at a venue famous for hosting major entertainment events.
Summer Game Fest 2026 Date and Location
- June 5, 2026
- Dolby Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
Summer Game Fest will return to Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre on June 5, 2026, for a live broadcast filled with new game announcements and surprises. Hosted by Geoff Keighley and the team from The Game Awards, the event expects thousands of attendees and millions of online viewers, aiming to surpass last year’s record-breaking audience.
As a long-time viewer of these events, I have to say Summer Game Fest continues to impress. We’ve seen some huge reveals here in the past – remember the first trailer for *Resident Evil Requiem*, or when they just *dropped* the *Lies of P: Overture* DLC? It really stands out, even with Microsoft’s Xbox Showcase, Sony’s State of Play, and Nintendo Direct all vying for attention. But this year feels different. Moving the show to the Dolby Theatre? That’s a bold move, and I think Geoff Keighley might be starting a whole new chapter for his summer celebration of games. It definitely feels like a step up and I’m excited to see where he takes it.
As a huge gaming fan, I was so excited by everything shown at Summer Game Fest! There really was something for everyone – massive AAA shooters, cool platformers made by single developers, and even some terrifying online horror games. I’m already looking forward to Summer Game Fest 2026, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for any news about who’s going to be there, what games they’ll be showing off, and any sneak peeks we might get beforehand. It’s going to be amazing!
