Good news, fans of Geoff Keighley’s beautiful eyes. The Summer Game Fest stream on June 7 will run at 4K and 60fps this year, because gaming, baby. Though, the announcement of that has spawned a lot of chuckling, for reasons you can probably imagine.
“Our YouTube Livestream for #SummerGameFest will run live in 4K 60 fps this year,” the Keighleyman tweeted last night, shouting out what seems to be being pushed as a big first for the show. Then came the sniggering. Why’d it come? Well, because of the fact that a lot of games that’ve come out on various different consoles recently have struggled to meet this same marks.
“This confirms no Nintendo Switch games at the event,” industry analyst Daniel Ahmad joked in a quote tweet, adding: “To be fair though, if we apply the same logic, it also implies most PS5 and Xbox Series games won’t be shown either lol.”
