2024 Summer Game Events Streaming Schedule

The Summer is stacked with gaming showcases and events. We’ve got a round-up of them to help you keep track and not miss a thing!

Even with E3 well and truly dead, its ghost lingers and ensures the early Summer months bring a bevy of gaming events/showcases for gamers to enjoy. While Summer Game Fest is doing a solid job of trying to fill the void, without the centralization of E3, it’s a little tougher to keep up with all the streaming showcases going on.

We’re here to help.

Below, we’ve compiled a list (by date) of the various livestreams and when they’re happening, along with some links to watch. As usual, we’ll still have individual showcase articles for you to watch the major ones as it gets closer to the shows. Still, we think this will help you keep track of the ones you want to keep an eye on.

[Note: We will update this article as new details, or showcases, are revealed]

The event runs through August 25th, so I suspect we’ll be adding to this section before long.


The Unknowns

Of course, even as we inch closer to the main festivities, there are still some major players who haven’t announced showcases yet. Both Nintendo and PlayStation are expected to have something around June (which Nintendo confirmed), but nothing has been set in stone just yet. When they are announced, we’ll be sure to update this post with all the important details.

We’ll have boots on the ground during Summer Game Fest to bring you hands-on details and exclusives. As always, we’ll be posting updates on the site live as they happen, so be sure to keep it tuned to Cinelinx for all your Summer gaming needs!
