E3 2023 organiser ReedPop is starting to lift the lid on the upcoming event, detailing plans for a hybrid in-person and digital showcase designed to elevate the next year in video games. As announced, this year’s show will be preceded by a brand-new ‘Digital Week’ which will include a variety of online presentations – including the returning PC Gaming Show, Future Games Show, Guerrilla Collective, and Black Voices in Gaming.
This will be paired with a physical event, set to take place on 13-16 June 2023 in the Los Angeles Convention Center, United States. Notably, these days will be split down the centre, with industry members invited to attend from 13-15 June, and the general public invited in from 15-16 June. Two adjacent expo halls will separate these events, with each serving a dual purpose.
Those looking to attend the industry-facing portion of the event are now able to sign up for their passes on the E3 2023 website. Applications for free media and content creator passes are also now open. Anyone keen to nab a general attendance ticket will need to stay tuned.
