GamesRadar+ is thrilled to confirm that our biggest digital showcase event of 2024, the Future Games Show Summer Showcase, will be broadcast on Saturday June 8.
Expect exciting updates on blockbuster games and deeper dives into anticipated indies. We made good on that promise in our March 2024 show, when titles like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Sand Land lined up alongside a special Still Wakes The Deep mini-doc.
Read on for details on how to take part in the Future Games Show Summer Showcase, and how to join our rapidly growing co-streaming program.
Future Games Show Spring Showcase breaks records
The Future Games Show is a multiformat games event with a mission to help viewers discover something new. Our first show of 2024, the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, debuted nine world premieres including city-builder-with-a-twist Worshippers of Cthulu, the genre-defying Blue Prince, and anticipated sequel Knights in Tight Spaces, plus many more.
The Future Games Show Spring Showcase reached a record 8.5 million live viewers (+46% year-on-year) and we anticipate our Summer Showcase to be our biggest, most varied, show yet. Expect the return of our post-show Expansion Pack, new demo drops in the Ones to Play section, and more surprises.
The Future Games Show accumulated over 120 million views in 2023 across all shows and platforms, and we’ve featured over 550 amazing games since the event’s inception in 2020.
How to take part in the Future Games Show
The Future Games Show is ideal for debuting your unannounced game, sharing new information about an existing title, and reaching new audiences.
The Future Games Show reaches around 8-10 million live viewers on each broadcast, and over 50 million total views across all content per show, with many titles seeing huge increases in Steam wishlists from appearing in the event.
Indie or AAA, we want to showcase the most exciting and innovative games of 2024 and beyond, with all titles considered for broadcast.
