Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule: all event start times

‘Tis the season – of reveals, announcements, surprises, and information overload: That’s right, Summer Game Fest 2024 is upon us. For fans of video games, this is one of the most exciting times of the year with a series of showcases taking place over just a couple of days.

While companies like Sony and Nintendo like to do their own thing and don’t really participate in this wild gaming weekend, pretty much every other big name in the industry will have something to say or show during the upcoming proceedings.

You can follow our close coverage of the events on videogames.si.com, but if you’d like to watch everything live, then you should bookmark this schedule with all Summer Game Fest 2024 start times and streams.

Kicking off the season is Geoff Keighley’s two-hour show, which – according to the man himself – will mostly focus on previously announced games this year.

Day of the Devs will focus on games made by indie studios and start right after Geoff Keighley’s showcase.

Following Day of the Devs is the show brought to you by Devolver, which is known to always have something spicy in store and will celebrate its 15th birthday:

This one will have a focus on family-oriented games and kick off the action on Saturday for US viewers.
