Each summer, the games industry gathers itself into a moment of collective attention — a threshold between what has been announced and what is yet to be imagined. Summer Game Fest 2022, hosted by Geoff Keighley on June 9th, serves as that threshold: a curated livestream where publishers, developers, and audiences briefly share the same anticipation. It is less a trade show than a cultural signal, marking the season when the industry turns to face its audience and says, here is what comes next.
