The Electronic Entertainment Expo 2019 (E3 2019) was the 25th E3, during which hardware manufacturers, software developers, and publishers from the video game industry presented new and upcoming products to the attendees, primarily retailers and members of the video game press. The event, organized by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 11–13, 2019. Many companies held its press conferences in the days prior, with the exception of Sony, which skipped the event for the first time.

Contents

No new gaming hardware was revealed, though Microsoft announced it was starting work on the next-generation Xbox, whereas Sony had discussed its own preparatory work for the next PlayStation consoles, both which were released in 2020. Most announcements at E3 were focused on new games, many set to release from late 2019 through early 2020. A strong emphasis was made on subscription services, such as Xbox Game Pass and Uplay Plus, as well as streaming services such as Stadia.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on the industry, this was the last E3 show to have physically taken place as well as the last show held at the Los Angeles Convention center.

Format and changes

E3 2019 ran from June 11–13, 2019 in the Los Angeles Convention Center. [2] In the days prior, major publishers held press conferences, typically as a live presentation in a large theater with streaming broadcast, or through streaming pre-recorded segments, highlighting the new games that are planned for the next year. During the show proper, developers and publishers ran exhibition booths that allowed industry members, the press, retail representatives, and the public to try out the new games and talk with the creators. Several side events were held in nearby venues, including video game tournaments.

As with E3 2017 and E3 2018, the ESA offered up to 15,000 public-access badges to the event. [3]

The ESA's prior contract with the Los Angeles Convention Center had expired with E3 2019, and the ESA has stated they may be looking to other venues for E3 2020 and beyond. ESA has asked the Convention Center and city for additional space nearby, and while there are plans to open up more by 2020, the ESA remained unsure if this will be sufficient for the next show. [4] The ESA eventually renegotiated with the Convention Center through 2023, though have left the option to break their contract if desired. [5] The next event would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the most recent event to be held in-person.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that they would not be attending E3 2019, after having been a presence in all shows since the show's inception. Sony's CEO Shawn Layden stated in a February 2019 interview that with changes in retailer procurement, their own switch to fewer but more quality titles, and the rapid spread of news via the Internet that having a trade show as late as June was no longer helpful, and that Sony had to create its own Destination PlayStation experience in February as to secure retailer sales. [6] [7] Both Microsoft and Nintendo stated they would still attend E3. [8] Possibly due to the lack of Sony's presence, the show drew about 3,100 fewer attendees from E3 2018, for a total attendance of 66,100. [1]
