Referring to Partners for Summer Game Fest 2021, Geoff Keighley said: to VGC
For me, it was really important to get everybody involved, including PlayStation, Activision, EA, and all these other companies. I build all of my events in partnership with the publishers and this was really them reaching out and saying, ‘hey, we think there’s an opportunity to do what you’ve done at other points of the year in June’. I wasn’t really looking to make another big show, but it turned out that’s what we’re going to end up doing!
Even though the list is already extensive, Summer Games Fest is expected to unveil even more partners in the coming days or at the event.

In an interview with VGC, Geoff Keighley mentioned
We’ll have a Kick-Off show, then we’ll have individual events like Ubisoft Forward which is announced for Saturday, June 12 as part of Summer Game Fest and I think it’s also part of E3. But it’s ultimately Ubisoft’s event and E3 and Summer Game Fest are co-streaming the event.
With more than 30 partners and an extensive schedule, Summer Game Fest 2021 promises to be an event to behold.
