This year happens to be a very interesting time for gaming outlets hosting online shows due to the ongoing pandemic. Previously, IGN announced to be hosting its own Summer of Games show the same month with companies like Sega, Square Enix, and Twitter to be involved with its respected presentation.

The same can also be said for GamesRadar who announced just today to be hosting the Future Games Show in June as well. This showcase will be a divided effort between outlets and companies under the Future brand and to feature upcoming titles slated for the next-generation ecosystem. GamesRadar goes to say that its respected show will be the “perfect complement” to the PC Gaming Show.

However, among the two mentioned, the PC Gaming Show happens to be the only one currently with a scheduled time for the presentation. IGN has yet to unveil when Summer of Games will take place in June, and GamesRadar shared that the Future Games Show will take place the same timeframe as E3 was initially planned to happen; not offering an approximate date.
