It seems like it was only yesterday when Microsoft announced the official moniker for Project Scorpio, birthing to the world the Xbox One X. In June, Los Angeles will once again host E3 and, by the looks of it, Microsoft is well aware of the position that it is in, and is gearing up to deliver an extraordinary show at E3 2018.
Major Nelson has detailed some of the events that will be happening at this year"s show. Per usual, things will kick off with the Xbox E3 briefing that will this year take place at Microsoft Theater. The E3 briefing will take place on Sunday, June 10 at 1pm. This will give excited gamers a look at what is to come with reveals of new titles and also some in-depth looks at some previously announced games.
If you won"t be in attendance you"ll be able to catch all the action on the Xbox Mixer Channel and the Mixer app on the Xbox One, Windows 10 PCs, and mobile devices. Microsoft is well aware that its audience spreads far and wide, so the Mixer broadcast will be offered in six languages which include English, German, French, Italian, Spanish (LATAM), and Portuguese (LATAM), as well as support for English closed captions. If Mixer isn"t your preferred source, you will also be able to enjoy the stream on other services and at your local Microsoft Store.
Microsoft is also changing things up a bit this year, delivering a new show for E3 titled Inside Xbox. The show will air live on June 11 at 3pm and will host exclusive content like announcements, game demonstrations, interviews, giveaways, and more. There will also be more live content on Mixer from June 12 through June 14, with a full schedule to be released in the near future.
