Xbox at E3 2015: Everything You Need to Know

E3 2015 is almost here – and, as usual, Xbox will be at the annual video game trade show in full force. To kick things off, this year’s Xbox E3 2015 Briefing starts on Monday, June 15 at 12:30 p.m. EDT / 9:30 a.m. PDT. You’ll get in-depth looks at tons of upcoming games coming in 2015 and beyond. We’ll give you a solid rundown of the things you should be looking forward to in Xbox gaming for the foreseeable future.

You can watch the Xbox E3 2015 Briefing live on Xbox One, Xbox.com, Xbox 360, and Windows Phone. You can also tune into Spike TV’s “Xbox: Game On” in the U.S. and Canada for the full live show. Regardless of how you catch the show, don’t forget: It all starts at 12:30 p.m. EDT / 9:30 a.m. PDT on Monday, June 15!

We’re also hard at work preparing for our Xbox Daily: LIVE @ E3 show, which covers anything and everything Xbox-related during E3. During these live shows, you’ll get breaking news, exclusive announcements, new trailers, game demos, and interviews with the people behind your favorite video games. The one-hour show will be hosted by Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb and Graeme “Acey Bongos” Boyd. We’ve got an exciting lineup of co-hosts on tap this year, including Blair Herter, Tiffany Smith, iJustine, Andy “Bravo” Dudynsky, Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez, and Smosh Games’ David “Lasercorn” Moss, Joshua “The Jovenshire” Ovenshire and Amra “Flitz” Ricketts.

Plenty of guest stars and industry heavy-hitters are booked for Xbox Daily: LIVE @ E3, including Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, as well as representatives from 343 Industries (Halo 5: Guardians), Turn 10 Studios (Forza Motorsport 6), Crystal Dynamics (Rise of the Tomb Raider), and others. We’ll also be taking a closer look at the upcoming film “Terminator: Genisys” during one of our episodes.

Xbox Daily: LIVE @ E3 will air on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday – June 15-17 – starting at 7 p.m. EDT / 4 p.m. PDT. You can stream it live on Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles, or on Xbox.com (on your desktop or mobile device). Each show will also have interactive experiences created just for fans watching live on Xbox One. Make sure to download the free Xbox Live Event interactive app (XLEi app) on your Xbox One or XLE on your Xbox 360 in advance, to prepare for all the fun! And for anyone who can’t make it, we’ll post recaps and full VOD downloads of each episode shortly after they air. Here’s a teaser trailer for the show, check it out and get psyched!

For our PC gaming fans already getting excited for the upcoming release of Windows 10 on July 29, we recently announced that we’ll be co-sponsoring the PC Gaming Show on June 16 from 5-8 p.m PDT. Head of Xbox Phil Spencer and key members of the team will be showing off some great gaming experiences for Windows 10 (and maybe even a surprise), so be sure to catch the livestream of the show on the official PC Gaming Show site or on Twitch.
