The fated day arrives: Summer Game Fest is back, back again, with one world premiere after another to give 2026 a double-barrel of new games.

The annual livestream begins at 5pm ET / 9pm GMT today, June 5. You can watch it via YouTube above, but we'll also be live blogging the announcements right here if you can't tune into the stream. Or just check back in after the Summer Game Fest stream is under way and scroll on down to catch up on everything you've missed. I'll be collecting every significant trailer and announcement for an at-a-glance overview of the whole show.

For more of what's ahead this weekend, check out our full summer showcase schedule. And don't forget to watch the PC Gaming Show on Sunday!

Is it just me, or is Geoff bringing some slightly menacing energy into this year's show?
