Sorry Sony, Next Week Is Huge for Gamers Who Love Nintendo & Xbox

If you’re a Nintendo or Xbox fan, the next week is about to be very exciting. Gamers are about to get a treat with the upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, the Summer Game Fest on June 6, and the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. You’ll notice that Sony and PlayStation fans don’t have a lot to look forward to.

From the launch of Nintendo’s next-gen console to every new game that we’re about to see, the first week of June 2025 is going to be big. With SGF host Geoff Keighly bringing us back to yet another year of gaming reveals, let’s all get ready for a week of fun ahead.

Next week is going to be big, but Sony is sitting it out

Nintendo is first out of the gate on Thursday, June 5, with the long-awaited release of the Nintendo Switch 2. Available worldwide, the Switch 2 comes in two versions: a standalone console for $449.99 and a bundle that includes a digital code for the brand-new Mario Kart World at the same price.

But Nintendo isn’t the only one making noise next week. On Friday, June 6, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest 2025 kicks off at 5 PM ET, streaming live from Los Angeles. Over 40 game publishers will showcase new trailers, exclusive reveals, and world premieres, all across platforms.

We’ve even gotten confirmation from Keighley himself that Hideo Kojima is confirmed to appear on stage. Maybe he’ll give us new details on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, or maybe even updates on his mysterious Xbox project, OD. Nintendo and Rockstar typically sit out SGF, but the event is still a must-watch for us gamers.

We have no news yet about the games we’re gonna see on the Xbox Games Showcase, but we can make some guesses. One thing we are excited about is that SGF will immediately be followed by a special showcase for Outer Worlds 2. We can expect to see an in-depth look at Obsidian Entertainment’s highly anticipated sci-fi RPG sequel.

While Sony has its own projects in the making, the next seven days won’t be about PlayStation. The headlines are about to be dominated by the Nintendo Switch 2 and all the new games about to get new trailers and announcements. Between the Switch 2 launch, Summer Game Fest, and the Xbox event, Nintendo and Xbox fans are walking into a dream weekend.

June 5 through June 8 will set the tone for the rest of 2025. If GTA 6 wasn’t delayed to next year, we could’ve expected more footage of it, but now other developers and games have the red carpet for any new reveals.
