When it comes to Gamescom, there are two kinds of people. The first: the event's haggard attendees, who arrive in droves to hack through throngs of cosplayers and stand in three-hour queues. The second: people who elect to hang out at home instead and let all the news come to them.
The show will go out pretty much everywhere that can hold a stream, and you can catch it on Twitch, YouTube, Steam, X, Facebook, TikTok, GamesRadar, PC Gamer, Gamespot, BiliBili and more. If English isn't your language of choice (who can blame you? None of these words sound like how they're written), it'll also go out in American Sign Language and British Sign Language YouTube Premieres as well as dedicated streams with localised subtitles in Spanish, German, French, Polish, Portuguese, Italian, Thai, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Once the main event is over, stay tuned for FGS Live from Gamescom right after, a 40-minute showcase featuring even more trailers, announcements, and world premieres.Events & Conferences Here's the Summer Game Fest 2025 schedule, including where to watch each showcaseI think it's cheating that you can see all this stuff without wading through a sea of gamers, personally.If you're in the latter camp, then guess what? The Future Games Show at Gamescom is returning this Wednesday, August 20 at 11 am PT, 2 pm ET, 7 pm BST and 8 pm CEST. It'll be a 90-minute extravaganza (way more vaganza than is typical) with world premieres, exclusives, and stealth demo drops.
