I love watching videos on this site! Sometimes they come from YouTube, and before the video even starts, the site asks if it’s okay to load it. It just wants me to know that YouTube might use cookies and things like that. If I click ‘Accept and continue,’ the video plays, and everything works great!

Which companies are taking part in Summer Game Fest 2026?

Although Xbox and PlayStation are both holding their own gaming showcases around the time of Summer Game Fest, they won’t be presenting any big announcements during the main Summer Game Fest broadcast itself.

It’s currently unclear if Nintendo is participating. They haven’t made any announcements, and it seems unlikely given that they usually host their own Nintendo Direct presentation in June.

Everyone is eager to get news from Rockstar Games, especially about GTA 6. However, given how quiet they’ve been, it’s unlikely we’ll hear anything from them soon.

We don’t have many details yet about what to expect at this year’s Summer Game Fest, which makes it all the more exciting!
