Microsoft To Host Second Annual Summer Game Fest Demo Event Starting Next Week

Upon understanding the events that take place this week, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest – while not affiliated – is to kick off the coming days of gaming showcases & presentations with E3 commencing on Saturday. This past Thursday, Summer Game Fest took place sparing details on the coming releases and featuring new projects along the way.

To continue traditions from 2020, Microsoft announced to be doing its part with its second annual Summer Game Fest Demo Event. Last year, Microsoft featured roughly 100 upcoming releases with playable demonstrations only unique to Xbox and the same is expected to take place this year as well next week.

In total, roughly 40 titles are said to be present. Furthermore, Microsoft revealed a handful of these new releases which you can read in the list below:

Echo Generation
Lake
Sable
The Riftbreaker
Tunic

“These are not normal ‘game demos.’ Typically, the demos you see in our Demo channel are created after the game is completed (or nearly completed) and represent the final version,” Jessica Ronnell, ID@Xbox Events and Community Management Lead explains. “Many of these demos are early, and some are for games that won’t be out for quite some time. Think of these as akin to ‘show floor demos’ and not necessarily indicative of the final product.

“What that means is that you’ll get to experience these games early – some way early – which is awesome, but you should also note that these games will continue to evolve and be polished as they near release.” She adds, “These demos will only be up on the Xbox Dashboard for a week. Some might be re-published to the Demo channel later, but many will simply evaporate at the end of the week, so make sure to check them out while you can.”
