In addition to the Guerrilla Collective and the PC Gaming Show in the early morning of June 14, 2020, there was a new digital games show called Future Games Show. GamesRadar+ debuted their very own Future Games Show which featured 40+ games on console, PC, and mobile, with partners including Square Enix, Team 17, Curve Digital, Polyamorous Games, and more.
Hosted by Nolan North and Emily Rose of Uncharted series fame, they showed off some of the most exciting games of 2020 and beyond, and – as the title suggests – it also focused on what we can expect from the future of games on the new Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles.
