E3 2021 schedule: Press conference live streams, start times, and more

E3 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic, but the show is making a triumphant return in 2021 as an all-digital event. Many of the biggest names in the industry are back on board, including Microsoft, Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Square Enix, all of which plan to host their own virtual press conferences over the course of the show, which begins on Saturday, June 12th.
We’ve pieced together a schedule of all the press conferences below, and while several publishers and developers have announced the timing of their events, others haven’t, so we’ll continue to update this list throughout the week as more details are confirmed by the companies.
Saturday, June 12th
The official E3 2021 broadcast will kick off on Sunday, June 12th with a preshow starting at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET, hosted by Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez, Jacki Jing, and Greg Miller. We’ll also see press conferences from Ubisoft and Gearbox Entertainment.
Ubisoft Forward
Ubisoft’s rebranded game reveal event returns for another edition at E3 2021. There will be an hour-long preshow at 11:00 a.m. PT with news and updates concerning For Honor, Trackmania, The Crew 2, Brawlhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, and more. Then at 12:00 p.m. PT, the show begins in earnest, and we expect to hear more about unreleased games such as Far Cry 6 and the new Rainbox Six.
Gearbox Entertainment
We are actually not sure what to expect from the Gearbox Entertainment press conference (including when it starts), but based on a recent tweet from CEO Randy Pitchford, it sounds like we should expect to see a new franchise from the Borderlands developer.
