We're very excited to partner with GOG.COM to put on this Indie Showcase event! We look forward to hosting you all from June 11 - 14 as we showcase over 70 indie games featuring new reveals, lots of new gameplay, and short dev diaries so you can meet the people behind the games you'll be playing.

Playstation 5: The Future of Gaming ( 9PM BST/1PM PST/4PM EST) via all major streaming platforms https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/
With each generation, from the first PlayStation to PlayStation 4, we aim higher and we push the boundaries further, to try and deliver better experiences for our community. This has been the mission of the PlayStation brand for more than 25 years. A mission I have been a part of nearly since the beginning.
There are few things as exciting as the launch of a new console. While this road to launch has been a bit…different, we are as thrilled as ever to bring you with us on this journey to redefine the future of videogames.
We've shared technical specifications and shown you the new DualSense wireless controller. But what is a launch without games?
That's why I'm excited to share that we will soon give you a first look at the games you'll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday. The games coming to PS5 represent the best in the industry from innovative studios that span the globe. Studios, both larger and smaller, those newer and those more established, all have been hard at work developing games that will showcase the potential of the hardware.
This digital showcase will run for a bit more than an hour and, for the first time, we will all be together virtually experiencing the excitement together. A lack of physical events has given us an amazing opportunity to think differently and bring you on this journey with us, and hopefully, closer than ever before. This is part of our series of PS5 updates and, rest assured, after next week's showcase, we will still have much to share with you.

July 21
Xbox Summer Game Fest Demo Event - (Starting July 21 - July 27) via Your Xbox Console!!!We'll have more than 60 brand-new game demos for upcoming, unreleased Xbox games available to check out for free! Look for the special Game Fest Demo tile on the Xbox One Dashboard that week to find the collection of available demos.
A few things to keep in mind:
As I mentioned, we'll have a lot of games – somewhere between 75 and 100 when the dust settles. We'll announce the full list closer to July 21 but here are some highlights:
- 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. Many of these demos are early, and some are for games that won't be out for quite some time. We've never done this before; 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. In other words, think of these as akin to "show floor demos" and not necessarily indicative of the final product. And speaking as somebody who has worked in the industry for a while – that's not a bad thing! In fact, being able to check out games early and then see how they evolve is freakin' awesome!
- 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.
- The developers would love to hear what you think. Hit them up on social media or through their websites. If you like the game – tell them! If you have constructive criticism, they would love to hear that too.
