Both big and small, online and onsite, and global events are heating up this summer in dramatic ways, waiting for your viewing of the latest games and technology. June is our spotlight month for what are called “showcase events”. These are usually public online sneak peeks by studios of upcoming games, gameplay expositions, and current game industry developments. From PC, mobile, to console platforms, all have a place in one of the big showcases.
While there are a couple of dozen showcases for Summer 2025, overall throughout the year there are over 210 as of our last count! This count includes showcases integrated into existing events, so not just standalone programs. You can search for them in the ‘Showcases’ tag on the calendar filter bar.
Check out the annual Summer Showcase lineup for June 2025 below. More showcases will be added as they come in and also placed in July and August upcoming articles (especially those you send to us). Thanks to our E4G Core Contributors for the following list!

“Why are some of these showcases not in the calendar proper?”
Great question! These are not ‘events’ in the spirit of the website, and we want to keep the spirit of the website focused on core industry events. These includes onsite, hybrid, and completely virtual Conferences, Conventions, Fan Festivals, and related game and tech industry events. This ensure you find what you really want out of the site, core game industry events.
Events that ARE listed in the calendar are noted with a direct link to that entry.
Even though most are not listed directly in the calendar, you can be sure we will regularly be promoting these events in blog posts, social media, and of course our weekly newsletter updates.
