How to watch the Green Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest 2025
This year's Summer Game Fest will feature a new showcase for games that highlight environmental causes and make direct contributions to real-world sustainability efforts. The Green Games Showcase, led by the not-for-profit PlanetPlay, will be held on Saturday, June 7 at 4:00PM ET (1:00PM PT) and streamed live on YouTube. PlanetPlay says the event will be "a celebration of game studios that have raised over $100,000 for certified environmental projects around the world." Those projects so far include Abundant Village, a regenerative garden project in South Africa; the carbon forestry project WithOneSeed in Timor-Leste; The Hongera Clean Cookstove project in Kenya; and The Teeny Tiny Truth, which aims to reduce microplastics in New Zealand's fresh water systems. The Green Games Showcase is one of several streams that are set to take place between Summer Game Fest Live on Friday and the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday. Be sure to also check out Day of the Devs, Devolver Direct, Wholesome Direct, the Women-Led Games Showcase, the Latin American Game Showcase and the Southeast Asian Games Showcase. It'll all wrap up with a Death Stranding 2: On the Beach premiere event, where you can get an early look at the game ahead of its release on June 26.

Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear spiritual successor won't be out this decade
Arguably the most anticipated game from Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima is still at least five years away, despite being announced a year ago. As well Death Stranding 2: On The Beach next month, Hideo Kojima's studio Kojima Productions is working on two more projects. One of these is an Xbox published game called OD, a collaboration between Kojima and Get Out director Jordan Peele which stars Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier. The horror project was officially revealed in 2023, but nothing has been shown since. The other is Physint, a Metal Gear spiritual sequel which was announced in January last year. Unlike OD, no footage has ever been shown of the game, and there's a very good reason for that – it's still many years away. Speaking in an interview with French magazine Le Film Français (via VGC), Kojima was asked about the upcoming film adaptation of Death Stranding from A24, and whether he'd like to direct a film himself. 'Oh, yes!' Kojima replied. 'I received many offers after leaving Konami.' However, don't expect a Kojima film anytime soon, as the developer wants to finish Death Stranding 2 and Physint before he even considers switching mediums. 'Besides Death Stranding 2, there is Physint in development,' Kojima said. 'That will take me another five or six years. Maybe after that, I could finally decide to tackle a film. I grew up with cinema. Directing would be a kind of homage to it. Besides, I'm getting older, and I would prefer to do it while still young.' While it's unclear why Kojima didn't mention OD, it's possible he's been told by Sony not to talk about the project while promoting Death Stranding 2, as it's published by Xbox – although it's unknown if it's a console exclusive or not. More Trending Considering OD was announced before Physint, it's safe to assume the former will be the next game from Kojima Productions, which implies Physint hasn't made it past pre-production yet. While Kojima's love for movies is clear in his games, an interview last week suggested he had been advised to stick to video games, by film director friends Guillermo del Toro and Nicolas Winding Refn. In that same interview, Kojima explained how he has a USB stick filled with game ideas, so his studio could have a secure future after he dies. He's currently 61 and so could be 66 or older before Physint is ever released. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is set to launch on PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025.

Kojima has a mind tomb: a USB stick filled with ideas for his staff to use after he dies 'kind of like a will'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As a 31 year old, I think constantly about my imminent death. After being assassinated by terrorists while rescuing a baby who is also the president from a burning building, how do I want people to remember me? Fortunately, my contract stipulates that I will be embalmed and lie in state like Lenin in the centre of the PC Gamer offices until the end of time, but others don't have that luxury (we're short on desk space as it is). Hideo Kojima, for instance, is achieving immortality by cramming a USB stick full of ideas for his staff to use after he concludes his tenancy on Earth. In a chat with our comrades at Edge magazine, Kojima said a serious illness during the Covid-19 pandemic reminded him of his mortality: "Until then, I didn't think I was old, you know? I just didn't feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live." Sickness disillusioned him of that. "I couldn't create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death." Though Kojima recovered and is now full-swing on putting out Death Stranding 2, the experience stayed with him. He began to wonder how long he had left to keep doing creative work—"Perhaps I would have 10 years?" It's that confrontation with mortality, says Kojima, that produced the pitch for Physint, but it produced something else, too: a USB stick filled with Kojima-brand ideas for his staff to pore through after he's gone. "I gave a USB stick with all my ideas on it to my personal assistant," said the man himself, "kind of like a will. "Perhaps they could continue to make things after I'm gone, here at Kojima Productions… This is a fear for me—what happens to Kojima Productions after I'm gone. I don't want them to just manage our existing IP." To be honest, I can't think of anything more Kojima than games still coming out with his name over the title sometime in 2150. If anyone deserves this kind of intellectual preservation, it's the guy who got a Game Boy Advance game made with a solar sensor built into the cartridge. You reckon the idea for a game where you get old, die, and forget how to move is on there? Hopefully Kojima's assistant backed it up, in any case. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together

Hideo Kojima once considered he might only "have 10 years" left to create new things, and he's given his assistant "a USB stick with all my ideas" as a kind of "will"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Hideo Kojima wants to make sure the staff at Kojima Productions are all set for the future even if he's no longer alive, and has shared a USB stick with "all my ideas" with his personal assistant, "kind of like a will." Kojima has a lot of unique ideas. Only this week, the Death Stranding 2 director shared a concept for a game where the protagonist would age over time, becoming weaker but wiser, although he asserted that "no-one would buy it!" Clearly though, he must have plenty of other ideas that he thinks people would buy, and he's letting his staff save those for if they ever need them if he's not around. "I gave a USB stick with all my ideas on it to my personal assistant – kind of like a will," he tells Edge in issue 411 of the magazine. "Perhaps they could continue to make things after I'm gone, here at Kojima Productions… This is a fear for me – what happens to Kojima Productions after I'm gone. I don't want them to just manage our existing IP." He talks to the publication about the experience of turning 60 in 2023, as well as when he "fell seriously ill" during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that "until then, I didn't think I was old, you know? I just didn't feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live." That experience clearly changed things for him, as he continues: "But then I became sick, and I couldn't create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death. Of course, I recovered, but now I was thinking, 'Wait, how many years do I have left to make a game or a film?' Perhaps I would have ten years?" One thing is for sure, as he reiterates here, Kojima has made it very clear that he wants to "continue 'creating things' for the rest of my life." Hideo Kojima wanted Death Stranding 2 to have "a clearer focus on combat," giving players a "range of approaches" including Metal Gear Solid-style stealth.
