Each year during the third quarter of the fiscal year, the video game industry holds one of the largest conferences for developers and publishers alike to showcase the latest projects they’ve been working on. Sony has realized the growing popularity of this event over the past years and has offered what they call the PlayStation E3 Experience, which allows fans to watch their E3 briefing live in movie theatres. This experience will be making a return for E3 2016 by popular demand.
E3 is not open to public like other gaming conferences. It is strictly for those who have direct employment connections to the video game industry and the press. This in return alienates a lot of the general public who are the actual consumers of the products, especially those whom may not have sufficient internet speeds to live stream the event from their homes. This is what led Sony to begin the E3 experience.
Sony has experienced so much of an increase in demand for their service that they’ve had to up their seating capacity as well as offer a wider variety of locations. 85 locations from Canada, across the continental US and Latin America will be offered this year.
If you’d like to attend the Playstation E3 Experience the tickets are free of charge. All one has to do is head over to PlayStation.com/E3Experience, if you don’t get your ticket right away then there is also a waiting list available. Tickets will be available starting May 31, 2016, 10:00 AM Pacific time. Down below you can check out a list of participating theatres courtesy of Playstation.blog.
