Summer Game Fest kicks off this week, and there are plenty of showcases for video gamers to enjoy, no matter which platform they prefer to play on.
The week is packed full of video game news, which will include world premieres, updates on already released games, extended looks into upcoming games, and more. The excitement started last week with the PlayStation State of Play, which was part of Summer Game Fest.
In addition to PlayStation’s showcase, there are several more showcases, some of which are focused on a specific platform and others more general in nature. This week marks the start of the slew of video game showcases that take place from June 9 until June 14.
