The schedule includes dates and times for all the conferences and showcases from all of the big studios participating in the event, as well as other smaller companies. The scope of each show will vary as different publishers will be ready to show different things.
On the first day of the show June 12th, aside from the general E3 kickoff, which starts at 10AM PT/1PM ET, Ubisoft and Gearbox Entertainment will be the first conferences to go. Ubisoft already held a debut for Far Cry 6, which you can read about here, so expect more about that and other upcoming Ubisoft games.
Next, on June 13th, are some of the biggest shows of the entire event. That includes Xbox/Bethesda, Square Enix, Warner Bros., and the PC Gaming Show. The Microsoft conference is the first of the bunch, starting at 10AM PT/1PM ET. Speculation about the Xbox conference is rampant as people expect to see a lot of details for Halo Infinite and Starfield. Square Enix has already announced they would talk about the next expansion for Marvel’s Avengers, a new game from Eidos Montreal, and Babylon’s Fall.

And finally, on June 15th, Nintendo and Bandai Namco will hold their press conferences.

The broadcast for that day starts at 8:00AM PT/11:00AM ET and it will end with the Official E3 Awards Show.
