Connecting with the hottest new games in the world at Summer Games Fest just got a whole lot easier!
Led by the one and only Geoff Keighley, Summer Game Fest, which takes place from the 5th-8th of June with showcases from the likes of Xbox and PlayStation, has become one of the gaming industry’s biggest annual showcase events, with millions of global gamers tuning in.
Now, players watching the big show will be able to discover every featured game in one place through player.gg, allowing them to sign up for playtests across all platforms, wishlist gaming titles, follow upcoming releases, and stay connected with the games that caught their attention during the showcase. Participating studios will be able to offer players exclusive playtest access, rewards, and community opportunities directly through player.gg throughout the Summer Game Fest period.
Geoff Keighley, Creator and Host of Summer Game Fest, commented:
“To help players discover more games, we’re excited to partner with player.gg as a multi-platform destination where fans can discover, track, and wishlist titles featured during Summer Game Fest.”
Robert van Hoesel, Co-Founder of Player.gg, added:
“Discovering a new game, getting to play it early, even helping shape what ships, those have always been scattered across a dozen places. We’re bringing them together in a central hub through curators worth trusting, a community eager to play, and a direct relationship with the studios that care.”
As part of the Summer Game Fest partnership announcement, former GameSpot host and Giant Bomb lead producer Lucy James will also debut her new gaming newsletter, lookingfor.game, on player.gg. The newsletter will focus on curated PC gaming recommendations alongside exclusive demos and playtest opportunities integrated into the platform.
Lucy James commented:
“Now, more than ever, we need genuine, trusted recommendations for games to play, share, and experience together. I’m thrilled to partner with Player.gg to build an experience that combines curation, community, and the joy of discovering awesome games.”
Players can follow Summer Game Fest 2026 and track every featured title at player.gg/sgf. Lucy James’ new game discovery newsletter is available to subscribe to at lookingfor.game.
