It's the tenth anniversary of the PC Gaming Show! If you're planning on tuning in, then visit either YouTube, Twitch or Steam. Residents of China can watch the show on Bilibili.

As the name suggests, this showcase is all about PC gaming! According to PC Gamer, and it's their show so they'll know, over 50 games will be showcased during this year's show. This will include a mixture of developer interviews, world premieres and exclusive announcements. Considering last year's show saw the reveal of Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, we should be in for a good surprise.

The publisher has also confirmed which games it'll be showing, too, including Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and more news on the recently released XDefiant. (And maybe if we wish really, really, really hard we might even get to see something from Beyond Good and Evil 2.)

While we don't know much about the showcase at the moment, Yacht Club Games has revealed the showcase is in-part of a celebration of Shovel Knight's tenth anniversary. It also promies to bring new announcements, merchandise (probably Shovel Knight related) and a couple of surprises.

Nintendo Direct - June 2024

Date and time to be confirmed.

Thanks to an announcement from Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo president, posted on the official Nintendo Corporate X account, we know there will be a Nintendo Direct sometime in June. At the time of writing, the exact date and time for this Direct are yet to be revealed, but we'll update this page once they are.

As usual, you'll be able to watch this Nintendo Direct on YouTube and Twitch.

It's important to note that while Furukawa's statement included a mention of the Switch 2, it will not be discussed during June's Direct. Though it is nice to know that the Switch's successor isn't just a product of our collective imagination with this post being the first time Nintendo has officially discussed it. (Let's be honest, dropping the news this way is a very Nintendo move.) Earlier this year, Eurogamer sources did confirm that the Switch 2 is on track for a 2025 launch so hopefully we'll finally get a look at the console before this year is out.
