Summer Games Fest 2026 - MEGATHREAD
# Summer Games Fest 2026 Megathread
I hope y'all are ready to have a Baja Blast because Geoff is going to show games. Video games even. Lots of them.
There are a lot of rumors about what's going to show up. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, Metro 2039, Intergalactic: The Heretic Project, and Injustice 3 are just some of the games that have been rumored to show up. There will likely be a bunch of games no one expected. At least a few celebrity cameos, one of which will be confusing. Hopefully, we will all have a good time.
I bought 007 Legends on the PlayStation 3.
# Schedule
**The stream will start at 5pm EST/2pm PST/10pm BST/5am AWST**
