You can watch all the E3 press conferences and read the latest news on your favorite gaming website (hopefully Digital Trends?), but if you want minute-to-minute insight on everything going on at the gamers’ extravaganza, following along on social media is extremely beneficial. Here are some of the best social media websites to follow during E3 2018 (not including @E3, which you should also follow).

Publishers

For starters, follow all the major publishers. If you can’t watch all of the press conferences, know that developers and publishers typically live-tweet throughout.

Geoff Keighley: @geoffkieghley

The producer and creator of The Game Awards, Geoff Keighley, also has a major E3 presence. He created the E3 Coliseum, which will take place again this year from June 12-14.

Wario64: @Wario64

Wario64 is best known for tweeting about video game deals, but the extremely active Twitter user also has a penchant for disseminating leaks (most recently, Hitman 2). Wario64 also commonly lets followers know about pre-order opportunities, so with lots of games likely getting release dates at E3, you should definitely follow this anonymous Twitter user.

Nibel: @Nibellion

Similar to Wario64, Nibel is a very active Twitter user who almost exclusively tweets about video game news. If there’s an announcement that people are talking about, chances are Nibel is tweeting about it, too.

Kinda Funny: @KindaFunnyVideos

Kinda Funny, comprised mainly of ex-IGN staffers, is one of the most popular channels on Patreon. The Kinda Funny crew always has a major presence at E3. Also, you may want to follow individual members of Kinda Funny as well:

What’s Good Games: @WhatsGood_Games

The team over at What’s Good Games has done a brilliant job providing insight and analysis on the industry. You should follow their work regardless, but they are sure to have plenty of quality E3 musings throughout the show.

Here are some individual What’s Good Games accounts to follow as well:

Fortnite Pro-Am participants: @FortniteGame

Epic Games is putting on a massive Fortnite tournament on June 12 to kick off E3. Fifty pros will compete alongside 50 celebrities in the pro-am. While there’s no guarantee the celebrities themselves will tweet about the experience, if you’re a fan of Fortnite (and who isn’t at this point?), you should follow the official account to learn the results of matches featuring celebrities such as NBA star Paul George, the great Janina Gavankar, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, comedian Joel McHale, and many more.

Digital Trends: @DigitalTrends

We know, it’s shameless self-promotion, but we’ll be tweeting throughout the show. We’ll also have multiple staffers and contributors on-site that will be good to follow.

Also, we have multiple writers covering the press conferences remotely:

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo’s latest LOQ is more comfortable running newer AAA games
Lenovo's LOQ 17 gets a new RTX 5070 12GB graphics option

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.
