Where to watch Summer Game Fest and Not-E3 2022 livestream news events

Microsoft, Capcom and Netflix have all stepped up to the plate, as well as Devolver Digital and Devolver Digital. The Geoff Keighley-led Summer Game Fest kicked off a week’s worth of livestreaming events that showcase hundreds of new and emerging games.
A few major game publishers have already signaled that they won’t hold an E3-style showcase during this time. Electronic Arts and Ubisoft both have said that they will not be hosting their June events (EA Play, Ubisoft Forward). Nintendo is still an unknown, just as Nintendo. Nintendo has yet to announce a Nintendo Direct in June.
