Which companies are taking part in Summer Game Fest 2025?

Summer Game Fest has confirmed a huge number of companies will be taking part in the showcase this year, including the big three consoles: Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation.

As for studios, we've already seen that Geoff's best mate Hideo Kojima will be there with Kojima Productions to show off Death Stranding 2 ahead of its release this month.

We've also got indie darlings Annapurna Interactive, The Finals developer Embark Studios reportedly showing off the ARC Raiders release date and IO Interactive, who recently announced a new James Bond game.

Korean developer Neowiz will be there, likely with an announcement about the upcoming Lies of P DLC, while CD Projekt Red will also be around, hopefully with some news about The Witcher 4.

After all that, we've still not even covered half of the partners, with 2K, 505 Games, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Devolver Digital, Epic Games, Playstack, Sega and Square Enix all featuring too.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 having launched just the day before, we can only assume Nintendo will be showing off the likes of Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and maybe even a Metroid Prime 4 release date if we're lucky.
