The Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show is fast approaching, and livestreaming site Twitch plans to provide extensive video coverage of console gaming’s biggest event in the United States.
Twitch revealed that it will broadcast all of the big conferences from Sony, Microsoft, and other big publishers leading up to E3. The Amazon-owned video-streaming site also announced that it will have more than 30 different publishers and developers on its stage during the show itself. Twitch is the “official streaming partner” of E3, just like it was last year. And it has already solidified a deal to continue that partnership in 2016. This further cements Twitch’s place as one of the top destinations for gaming video in the face of competition from YouTube.
