Everything Revealed On The Future Games Show: Spring Showcase 2026

The Future Games Show: Spring Showcase 2026 ran in the middle of GDC 2026, with about three hours of commercials that convention goers missed

Like clockwork, organizers for the Future Games Show held their Spring Showcase 2026 livestream during GDC 2026. Which makes little sense since many of the people who would watch it are at the convention when this ran, so a chunk of their usual audience was not around to see it. Including us, because we were literally on the GDC floor having fun instead of sitting through two hours of video game commercials. (We really should do that more often when events come up.) So we weren't even watching this until we stumbled back into our hotel room at 1am. So we have the full rundown with notes for you below from the organizers themselves, as well as the stream above, for you to check out.
