E3 2021 is scheduled to begin tomorrow, June 12th, and will run through Tuesday, June 15th. It is the biggest gaming expo where most major platforms, games, and updates get announced. Gamers expect big news from some of their favorite games. Meanwhile, competing studios will also likely be watching the event closely.

After being canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19, E3 2021 is back on schedule and will be in an entirely digital format. Microsoft and Nintendo have already announced their time slots, so things are beginning to come together for one of the biggest gaming events of the year.


E3 2021 will be entirely digital

People need to pre-register on E3's official website to get a spot in the live event. However, there are a limited number of openings since virtual events also have attendance limits. Registration is now open.

Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook will all carry live streams so that fans can tune in on any of those platforms. These will become available as soon as the event begins.
