Summer Game Fest 2025 live build-up: where to watch and everything you need to know before the Geoff Keighley showcase
Refresh
Who is Geoff Keighley?
If you’re interested in Summer Game Fest, then you’ve undoubtedly heard the name Geoff Keighley more times than you can count. But who exactly is he?
A former game journalist turned present, Keighley had a strong career writing for outlets like Kotaku and GameStop, mainly focusing on long-form deep-dives into major games and studios.
He also frequently appeared on television, becoming a prominent face at events like E3.
Now, he helms his own events and shows acting as both the host and organizer – including the Game Awards and Summer Game Fest.
