The FPS Games Show Will Showcase 16 First-Person Shooters In September

by Rainier on Aug. 19, 2026 @ 10:04 a.m. PDT

The FPS Games Show is a new showcase dedicated entirely to first-person shooters, bringing together 16 games including Escape from Tarkov, Rainbow Six Siege, Ready or Not, Gray Zone Warfare, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, STALZONE, Wardogs and more.

The FPS Games Show, presented by Bulkhead, is a new pre-recorded showcase dedicated entirely to FPS games, which will debut live on 3 September 2026 at 19:00 BST / 20:00 CEST exclusively on Twitch.

A first-of-its-kind collaborative showcase, the FPS Games Show brings together studios from across the genre to create a shared showcase of content for FPS players. Rather than studios paying for placement or competing for attention, every developer involved is participating freely, with no paid placements and no marketing spend required to appear in the show. Instead, participating studios are coming together to champion one another’s games, share exclusive news, trailers and gameplay, and celebrate the FPS genre as a whole.

Built around titles players are already invested in, alongside new games and updates worth discovering, the show is designed to give the FPS community something it rarely gets: a showcase created collectively by the people making these games, for the players who love them.

FPS is one of gaming’s biggest, most passionate and most performance-driven audiences, but until now has not had a dedicated showcase of its own.

FPS games have been a cornerstone of the industry for more than three decades, building one of the biggest and most dedicated player communities in gaming. Yet that audience is underserved when it comes to a dedicated place for news, updates and new game reveals,” said Joe Brammer, CEO of Bulkhead.

The FPS Games Show aims to change that by bringing studios together to showcase their work, support one another and celebrate our collective love of the genre. It’s about giving FPS games, and the players who are passionate about them, a show of their own.” 

Rather than mixing shooters into long line-ups spanning unrelated genres, the FPS Games Show puts FPS games, communities and players at the centre. Viewers can expect new trailers, gameplay, content updates and news, all wrapped in a show designed for FPS players, by FPS players.

The 16 title lineup includes: Rainbow Six Siege, Escape from Tarkov, Ready or Not, Stalzone, SCUM, Gray Zone Warfare, Wardogs, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, Beautiful Light, Bellum, Incursion Red River, Road to Vostok, Sand Raiders of Sophie, Bodycam, 83, and Terminal War.

“The FPS Games Show is a great example of studios coming together to celebrate the genre, showcase the games players are invested in, and support each other’s work.” said Shed Wilson, Director + Co-Founder at BOOST.

There’s a real sense of unity around FPS games, both among the studios making them and the players who love them. This really is the first time studios have come together like this to showcase their games to the wider community.”

Every participating studio, publisher and creator will co-host the FPS Games Show directly to their own communities, significantly extending its reach across the genre. Through co-hosting, reactions and community promotion, each participant will not only showcase their own games, but help amplify those of others, with everyone taking part for free.

The show will combine a fast paced showcase with a player-first, self-aware tone, aiming to feel less like a corporate reel and more like something FPS players actually want to watch, featuring games and creators they know and respect. A proper celebration of the genre, made for players who want updates for the games they love.

Support from both Twitch and Steam further strengthens the FPS Games Show’s ambition to create a major collaborative moment for the genre. Twitch is helping bring this first-of-its-kind celebration to as many players as possible by supporting participating game communities and developers, while Steam will host a dedicated 3rd Party platform event featuring selected titles, including discounts, free demos and free weekends.

Together, their involvement brings developers, platforms and players together around FPS games as a whole.
