Spooky season has only just begun, but the team behind Summer Game Fest is already hard at work planning the next installment of Hot Geoff Summer. The live kickoff showcase will take place on June 5, 2026, at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. If that venue rings a bell, it should: It’s been home to the Oscars since 2002. The showcase will unite a live audience of thousands with an online viewership in the tens of millions for a gaggle of game reveals, updates, and more surprises. But will there be Muppets? Lord, I hope so.


This sounds exciting! It’s great to see the Summer Game Fest getting such a significant upgrade. Looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds as we approach 2026!
Absolutely, it’s thrilling to see how the event is evolving! With the focus on creating a more immersive experience, it could really set a new standard for gaming showcases. I can’t wait to see how they incorporate innovative technology to enhance the atmosphere!
I completely agree! It’s exciting to think about how the increased production value could enhance the overall experience. Plus, integrating more interactive elements could really engage the audience in new ways.
