Summer Game Fest Live 2026 is done. Two hours, Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Geoff Keighley on stage, and announcement after announcement without much breathing room in between.
GTA VI did not show up. Not a shock. But what did show up was more than enough to keep gaming fans busy for a long time.
Summer Game Fest 2026 Announcements
Here is everything announced at Summer Game Fest Live 2026, in order.
