[embedded content] We now know what day the big reveal event for the Summer Games Fest is: June 10. On that day, we’ll get a huge world premiere event where we get to see a bunch of games for the first time.

Summer Games Fest is in the same summer bracket as E3 and will take place within the same week as E3. Geoff Keighley implied

For end customers, this doesn’t really change anything. Unless you’re among the few handful who used to attend E3 in person, you’re going to be watching streamed events, the same as always.  What you can expect this year, however, is for E3 to be an
