After waiting, more or less, a full year for Nintendo to host a major Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, the day has finally arrived. Yesterday Nintendo made it official – it is hosting a full-on 2026 summer Nintendo Direct and it goes live today. 

Nintendo has now officially confirmed the leaked June Nintendo Direct and it goes live tomorrow. Does this mean the rest of the game leaks and rumors are also going to come true? Some of them already have and tomorrow could be the big one. 

Nintendo just confirmed its big June Nintendo Direct folks. It’s really happening! All the leaks and rumors were true. 

The massive summer Xbox Games Showcase is live today folks. While Xbox has already confirmed that Project Helix (its next-generation console) will not be making an appearance in any significant way today, that means it’s going to be all about the games, and what sounds like a lot of them. 

We are in the midst of the big summer game showcases now and next up is quite possibly the biggest of them all, Summer Game Fest 2026. 

While we are still waiting an official release date on FromSoft’s Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, ready your swords my fells Tarnished warriors, you will officially be heading back to The Lands Between in just two months time – the release date for Elden Ring Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 has been revealed. 

Just we suspected, Walmart is also pushing its big summer sale ahead roughly one month, much like we have seen from Amazon, Best Buy, and Target already. 

Nintendo historically hosts a big Direct in June, but last year things were seemingly shifted because of the Switch 2 launch and this left expectations up in the air for 2026. However, industry insiders claimed we were getting something along those lines this month, and one of them just doubled down to confirm/leak the date. 

The rumors and leaks were true, Sony just revealed a complete in-depth gameplay look at the new God of War Laufey game from Santa Monica studios. This very much looks like the leaks – Faye is the antagonists and we have 20 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay below (this is how you show a game off folks). 

The summer PlayStation State of Play showcase goes live today. We get more than a few State of Play broadcasts per year, but none quite as big as the big June show, and it all starts very soon. 

After the launch of the official Animal Crossing collection, and those insanely ridiculous LEGO clogs, Nintendo has announced Crocs are coming to the Mushroom Kingdom. 

June 2026 will feature the biggest sale events on the internet so far this year. While we historically have to wait until early/mid-July for the massive half year sale events, Amazon has pushed the schedule early this year and it appears as though just about all of the major retailers are following suit. 

Nintendo surprised just about everyone last moth with a dedicated Star Fox Direct showcase out of nowhere. The new Switch 2 cinematic remake of the N64 game is officially set for release on June 25 and Nintendo has just unleashed a new Overview Trailer via the Nintendo Today app. 

Just after Amazon officially revealed the start time and date for its massive 2026 Prime Day event, Best Buy has now gone official with its direct competitor sale – this year’s Best Buy’s Tech Fest sale will go live one day before Amazon later this month. 

June has arrived and that means the biggest gaming showcases of the year are inbound very soon. June typically houses the summer showcases from all of the biggest publishers, platforms, and more, with the massive hour+ long broadcasts from PlayStation, Xbox, and more already set in stone. Head below for a rundown of when all of the biggest game reveals of the summer will be going live this month and more details on the potentially upcoming summer Nintendo Direct.

It was starting to seem like we might not get a reveal until Summer Game Fest, but it is that time of year and Activision has now officially revealed this year’s Call of Duty release, and it is also releasing on Switch 2. 

Sony officially announced the 2026 Days of Play Sale yesterday, just as we expected, and everything is going live today.
