Summer Game Fest viewership nearly doubles to 50 million livestreams

Ever since E3 went the way of the dodo, Geoff Keighley has been keeping the summer spirits alive with his annual Summer Game Fest Showcase. While a more recent creation when compared to The Game Awards, Summer Game Fest is easily THE video game showcase of the summer – with the most recent event seeing over 50 million livestreams.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the official Summer Game Fest page shared the following: “Thank you for being a part of #SummerGameFest 2025 – our most watched SGF to date.”

They continued, “The live show had over 50 million livestreams, with a peak concurrent audience of 3M+, up 89% YoY, according to StreamsCharts.”

While this easily makes it the most viewed Summer Game Fest showcase of all time so far, it still has a ways to go in order to reach the heights of Keighley’s other game showcase – The Game Awards.

Of course, the TGA’s have been going on for far longer than SGF (10 vs 5 years), but even so, the sheer size of the former is hard to beat, with last year’s Game Awards seeing over 150 million viewers.

It is worth noting that just 5 years ago the award show was sitting at around 45 million viewers, and so just like with the TGA’s it’s possible that Summer Game Fest will grow to reach an audience of over 100 million eventually. Still, even without E3, Summer Game Fest is keeping the spirit of the Electronic Entertainment Expo alive.
