E3 has become a series of different livestreams over the past few years and this year there are more than ever. From Nintendo’s two-day Treehouse Live to Twitter’s six-day coverage, we’ve put together a day-by-day guide of which livestreams to keep an eye on ... on top of all the major conferences.
In order to see all of the new reveals and get more in-depth knowledge of what developers are working on, it’s more important than ever before to pay attention to official streams. We don’t have full breakdowns of many of the studios and publishers streams, but we have outlined when they begin and what they’ll cover throughout the day. Polygon will also have ongoing coverage from the streams.
Collected below is a full list of other streams — that aren’t Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft or Bethesda — to keep you entertained during E3.
