Show Notes
Summer Game Fest 2026 has come and gone. But while the GI crew was out in Los Angeles, we took the opportunity to invite a few of our games media pals up to our studio to chat about everything: the state of the industry, how SGF has grown and changed, and of course, all the games we've played (that we can talk about right now).
Join us for an extra special, extra-long episode of The Game Informer Show, live from Los Angeles, brought to you thanks to Rode and their excellent equipment which powered our entire studio setup. Thanks for the sponsorship, Rode!

More from The Game Informer Show
It's a new week on The Game Informer Show, and we've got a ton of games to get into! First, Brian is here to report back on his hands-on impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
This week on The Game Informer Show, Giant Bomb's Will Crosby joins us to discuss the recent launch of Gears of War: E-Day. Does a return to the past for Gears mean good things for it? Spoilers: yes, it does.
In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we dive deep into our Grand Theft Auto VI cover story and extract the coolest details for your enjoyment. Marcus, Alex, Charles, and Kyle discuss how Leonida compares to Florida, the game's updated weather system and how it may compare to Red Dead Redemption 2, and speculate on what may happen to players who prey on endangered species.
This week on The Game Informer Show, Marcus joins the Video Vans to discuss his review of Control Resonant. Did it resonate with us, and does he think the day-one patch will affect early impressions of the game for its incoming players?
A lot of hours went into this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, as Eric joins up with Alex, Kyle, and Charles to talk about the literal full days he spent working his way through Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Intelligent Systems' latest strategy-RPG is a big one, but thankfully, it's also a good one.
