E3 2021's PC Gaming Show set for Sunday, June 13
Future has announced that the PC Gaming Show, now an E3 staple, will be taking place on Sunday, June 13 at 2:30pm PST / 5:30pm EST / 10.30pm BST.
The event will be broadcasting from Los Angeles during the E3 weekend and will boast 39 new trailers, game announcements, and interviews to audiences around the world.
"PC gaming retains its position as the world's most vibrant gaming platform," says PC Gamer Global Editor-in-Chief Evan Lahti. "The PC's library of weird, innovative, and genre-pushing games grows every week. The PC Gaming Show is about shining a bright light on as many of these new projects as we can."
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the show is the confirmed appearance of Valve. As per PG Gamer itself, Valve will be present at E3 2021 twith a "message regarding Steam."
Given that we don't typically hear from Valve at E3 events, this is curious. In the past few weeks, we've heard Gabe Newell offer vague hints about Steam coming to consoles and we've heard rumors that Valve is possibly working on a handheld Steam console called “SteamPal”. Could we hear more about either of these rumors during the event? Only time will tell.
Expect things to get a bit... weird... during the show. "A special showcase of exciting games during E3, this year's 90-minute show will embrace an imaginative theme: outer space," says a press release.
"For the first time, PC Gaming Show hosts will 'beam' video content and interviews straight from the cosmos, in a custom spaceship built just for this year's E3."
Will this be as off-the-wall as your typical Devolver presser? It remains to be seen.
You will be able to watch the PC Gaming Show on Twitch and Youtube.
