Summer Game Fest schedule: Your complete 2022 guide

E3 may have been cancelled this year, but you can still keep track of all the game news and announcements via our Summer Game Fest schedule.

Summer Game Fest will be taking place on Thursday, June 9, and will be accompanied by a number of other live stream presentations from a variety of companies and organisations.

Most notable of these is the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase, which is planned for Sunday, June 12.

Though there’s a reduced number of shows this year it can still be tricky keeping track of absolutely everything, which is why we’ve put together this complete schedule for the upcoming week.

It’s worth noting that not all of the streams are officially part of ‘Summer Game Fest’, but they’re close enough that we’ve included them here.

Summer Game Fest schedule: Your complete 2022 guide

One of the main events this week, the third Summer Game Fest promises to showcase “what’s next in gaming with huge new game announcements, world premieres, special guests, and much more”.

The show’s creator Geoff Keighley has attempted to temper expectations by saying it will be “primarily focused” on already announced games.

However, there will still be some new game announcements and “hopefully some surprises if everything holds,” Keighley said.

Keighley says he expects the show to last “around an hour and a half to two hours”, the uncertainly being due to its live setup and guest appearances.


Devolver Digital

Times: 3pm PT / 6pm ET / 11pm BST
Where to watch: YouTube / Twitch

It wouldn’t be a Devolver Digital event without a sarcasm-laden spoof show that mixes industry satire with actual game announcements, and this year will be no different.

The theme for 2022 is the “Devolver Marketing Countdown to Marketing”, so-called because the publisher claims to have realised that celebrity-laden countdown events are sometimes more popular than the events themselves.

It will be hosted by ‘Mecha Suda 51’, a robot with a TV screen displaying the No More Heroes creator.


Friday, June 10 at Summer Game Fest


IGN Expo

Times: 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST

Netflix’s Geeked Week will be taking place throughout this entire week (hence the name), with different presentations focusing on the likes of movies, TV shows and animation.

It’s the Games presentation on Friday that will be of most interest to us, however, with new information promised on The Cuphead Show, Sonic Prime, Dota: Dragon’s Blood and Tekken Bloodline.

The broadcaster will also be revealing more than 10 Netflix games, which will presumably be mobile titles.
