Summer Game Fest 2024 aired on Friday, June 7, 2024, at 2 p.m. PDT / 5 p.m. EDT. The roughly two-hour showcase streamed on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, X, Steam, and international partner outlets. The event has ended, but you can still watch the archived broadcast on YouTube.
This guide covers the main Summer Game Fest Showcase, its replay, international start times, and the separate showcases that surrounded it during Summer Game Fest week.
Watch the Summer Game Fest 2024 replay
The most practical replay option is the archived Summer Game Fest 2024 livestream on YouTube. The recording is hosted by GameSpot and is presented as a roughly two-hour broadcast, so it is not necessarily an upload from the official Summer Game Fest channel.
If that recording is unavailable in your region, search YouTube for “Summer Game Fest 2024 Livestream”. Prefer a complete recording over reaction videos, highlight compilations, or individual trailer uploads. Availability can vary by platform and region.

For a replay, YouTube is the clearest choice because its archive is easier to pause, rewind, share, and watch on a television or console. Twitch was better suited to live chat and co-streaming, but VOD retention and availability can vary. A co-stream may also contain commentary, reaction segments, different ad breaks, or a delayed start.
The original platform list and event details were published by YouTube Theater.

Is Summer Game Fest 2024 still live?
No. The broadcast took place on June 7, 2024. Use the archived YouTube recording rather than a page that still uses outdated “watch live” wording.
How to find a specific trailer
Use the replay’s timeline or chapters if they are available. You can also search for the game’s official trailer separately, but remember that an individual trailer is not a substitute for the complete showcase if you want the announcements in broadcast order.
What was the venue?
The event was held before a live audience at YouTube Theater in Hollywood Park, Inglewood, California. Public tickets were announced for sale through Ticketmaster in May 2024, but in-person attendance is no longer an option.
