The Future Games Show at Gamescom isn't too far away now, so you'll want to ensure you know when it kicks off and bookmark your stream of choice so you're ready when the time comes.

This year's show features over 50 titles from various developers and publishers, including 2K, Tripwire Presents, Plaion, Nacon, and Rebellion. It's not just games, though. Prime Video is also jumping in to share an exclusive look at The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2. You won't just see the best upcoming games on PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC, but streaming too.

All of this wouldn't be complete without someone to oversee proceedings, so we're drafting in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V actors Alex McKenna and Ned Luke.

Sound good? Read on to find out where to find your Future Games Show stream of choice and when it kicks off.
