Microsoft reveals some E3 2018 Xbox plans

Microsoft and team Xbox are busy getting their ducks in a row for North America’s biggest videogame industry show of the year. E3 2018 obviously.

This morning they revealed some basic details for the all-important Xbox E3 2018 Briefing, which will take place live at Sunday, June 10th at 1:00pm PDT at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Those at home will get a great look at all the action in a number of different streaming services including Mixer (and probably Twitch, YouTube, etc. too). There ill be trailer, announcements, more trailers, more announcements and hopefully a few exciting surprises. Inside Xbox will also be broadcasting live from the event with additional coverage from the show.

For those feeling lucky, Microsoft is also putting together a way to win free tickets for the Xbox FanFest at E3 2018.
