We’re excited to reveal that our Green Games Showcase will feature as part of the official Summer Game Fest 2026 line-up!
Taking place on Saturday, June 6 at 11am Pacific Time, at https://www.youtube.com/thegameawards, the Green Games Showcase will shine a Summer Game Fest spotlight on PC games that reconnect us with nature, spark hope for the future, and remind us what’s worth protecting – including both upcoming and established titles.
It has been produced in partnership with our friends the Good Game Club podcast, which explores the untapped power of video games, and the positive impact digital play can have on people and the planet.
The Green Games Showcase aims to encourage thoughtful discussion around how games can contribute positively to environmental awareness and action, while recognising that sustainability across the games industry remains an ongoing journey.
It will be hosted by Anjali Bhimani, an award-winning actor, voice artist, author and longtime games community advocate best known to players as the voices of Symmetra in Overwatch and Rampart in Apex Legends. PlanetPlay’s Chief Strategy Officer & Good Game Club host, Jude Ower MBE, will co-host alongside Anjali.
The Green Games Showcase will be streamed on the Summer Game Fest YouTube and Twitch channels, with a curated Steam Wishlist enabling players to discover and support featured titles.
