The stage is set for another year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, 2019 edition. This iteration is shaping up to be one of the biggest the industry will experience, as we are now moving into the next generation of consoles. This essentially means more titles to be teased, revealed or outright dropped – so stay tuned here with us for our coverage of the event all gamers will be watching worldwide.
For this piece, we’re looking at the first ever virtual reality showcase in E3 history: UploadVR’s E3 VR Showcase. First announced back in April, the showcase is developed for the sole purpose of providing a home for virtual reality titles across platforms in the biggest yearly event in gaming. Sony has notably brought several big VR titles for its PlayStation VR headsets, but since they’re skipping the event entirely this year, UploadVR has decided that it’s time for all VR titles within E3 to be centralized into one big event. Think of it like Nintendo's Direct or Sony's State of Play, but for virtual reality.
Here’s how you can watch the E3 VR Showcase for E3 2019, along with what you can expect from said coverage.
