IGN Live 2024 announces partners and guests, including Xbox head Phil Spencer

It's a big weekend for video games, and IGN (note: IGN and Mashable share the same parent company) will be contributing to that with IGN Live 2024.

The event, which streams live from June 7 to June 9, also happens to coincide with Summer Game Fest. You can get tickets now to attend in-person. However, even if you can't or don't want to go to the Los Angeles-based event, it's still worth checking out the full list of announced partners and guests. Be warned: It skews heavily towards general pop culture, not just gaming.

Here's a small taste of what you can expect from IGN Live.

IGN Live 2024: Partners and guests

The entire list of IGN Live guests poised to show up during the three-day event is extensive, but there are a few highlights worth noting:

• The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power cast members Maxim Baldry and Cruz Córdova will stop by to talk about season 2, along with an "exclusive reveal"

• John Wick director Chad Stahelski will stop by to talk about the series' 10-year anniversary

• Upcoming Street Fighter 6 DLC characters like Akuma will be playable at the event

• Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov (along with Henk and Maya Rogers, who help run the Tetris business) will discuss the iconic video game's 40-year anniversary

• Xbox executive Phil Spencer will join the show to discuss everything Xbox announces at its big showcase on June 9

These are just a few of the headliners at IGN Live. IGN also has a detailed schedule breaking down exactly when you can see every guest you want to see. Between all of that and Summer Game Fest, you'll want to be glued to a screen this weekend.
