E3 may be dead and buried, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of other huge gaming events and showcases to get excited about this June.
It’s May already (what?!), and every big showcase is now slowly being pencilled into the schedule, so we thought we’d put together a handy guide to all of the presentations, streams, events and celebrations happening over the month, including all of the times converted to local time zones and the best places to catch them live.
This list is still being built out as more shows and details are announced, but take a look at everything you can look forward to so far in June below:
June Gaming Showcase 2024 Schedule

- 7.00 AM AEST (Melbourne/Sydney/Hobart/Canberra/Brisbane)
- 6.30 AM ACST (Adelaide, Darwin)

Geoff Keighley, hero to trailer and sponsored segment enthusiasts everywhere, has revealed the dates for Summer Game Fest 2024, after the event was already confirmed to be going ahead right after it wrapped last year. It’ll once again be held in-person at the YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles as well as streamed live across multiple platforms when it kicks off on Saturday, June 8th, 2024 at 7AM AEST.

Xbox Games Showcase – June 10th
- 3.00 AM AEST (Melbourne/Sydney/Hobart/Canberra/Brisbane)
- 2.30 AM ACST (Adelaide, Darwin)
- 1.00 AM AWST (Perth)
- 5.00 AM NZDT (Wellington)
The Xbox Games Showcase will feature games from across Xbox’s swelling portfolio of studios including Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda and of course its Xbox Game Studios, along with titles from third-party partners. The follow-up presentation is still shrouded in “mystery,” with Xbox choosing to redact the name and simply saying it’s the next installment of “a beloved franchise,” but I think we can all agree based on the images that it’s a Call of Duty: Black Ops title.
You’ll be able to catch the show at all of the below channels:
Ubisoft Forward – June 10th
- Times TBA
Details beyond the date are scant, but Ubi’s got a fair bit in the pipeline that we’re likely to hear about. Star Wars Outlaws will no doubt be the one everyone hopes to see, especially given that still carries a tentative “2024” release window. There’s also the impending release of Assassin’s Creed Red along with the long-touted Assassin’s Creed Infinity platform. Beyond that, throw in XDefiant and some mobile stuff, and hopefully a few surprises, and I’d say that about seals the deal.
More Showcases With Date And Time TBA
- PC Gaming Show
- Day of the Devs
- Women-Led Games
- Latin American Games Showcase
- Nintendo Direct
