With E3 upon us, we now have a pretty good idea of what's being shown. To help you navigate the week, we've put together this handy guide that includes all the dates for all of the press conferences going on during the show, plus links to the streams. Proceedings actually start on Saturday this year, thanks to EA getting in early with its special Play event, so be sure to turn up a day earlier.
See how many games you already have to get with our list of PC games.
E3 has created a timetable which shows you the time of every conference, no matter which timezone you're in. Cheesemeister has also provided an equivalent schedule, which also includes EA's Play event. All of the events will be streamed either via the official E3 Twitch channel, or each company's dedicated Twitch stream.
Nintendo – Tuesday June 13 (09:00 PDT/11:00 EDT/17:00 BST/18:00 CEST)
Don't expect much PC-related from Nintendo, unless we've fallen into a parallel dimension and they've finally decided to bring Breath of the Wild to PC. The only major PC-related news will be indies that are coming first to the Switch, then eventually making their way to PC, like SteamWorld Dig 2 and Wargroove.
E3 Coliseum – June 13-14
A new games culture and community show hosted by Geoff Keighley, the E3 Coliseumwill be "two days of s, conversations, talks and other surprises" that will aim "to bring the culture of games to life." Expect appearances from leading developers and publishers, plus some celebrity guests. The Coliseum will be streamed live on Twitch Presents throughout June 13 and 14.
If you're interested in the PC-related elements of Coliseum, look no further than this condensed schedule. The full one is available here, so be sure to check there for your console and wider interest needs.
