Summer Game Fest has returned once more to fill the void left by the sad death of E3. This year’s edition, Summer Game Fest 2024, is stacked with showcases where we can expect plenty of big announcements and reveals for upcoming Game Pass games and Xbox exclusives. While the big Xbox Games Showcase will be the highlight for many, there are plenty of smaller events, such as the Wholesome Direct, which will provide a good dollop of indie-gaming goodness to look forward to. To help you get a handle on all of the events, showcases, and streams, we’ve put together a complete Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule, which lists each showcase, when it starts, and where it can be watched.
