The EA Play Press Conference has ended. For detailed information on games like Need for Speed Payback, A Way Out, or Madden 18, click the title of each game. For a full rundown of everything announced, head here.

For the second straight year, Electronic Arts will march to the beat of its own gigantic drum by foregoing E3 in favor of its fan-centric EA Play three-day event. While that does not necessarily mean very much to you, the viewer watching at home, the first year of EA Play was less about revealing far-off games than it was about unveiling new and exciting features to games that were available to demo after the conference concluded. Last year, EA confirmed Titanfall 2‘s campaign, showed off Mass Effect Andromeda, Battlefield 1, and new modes in its popular sports sims, FIFA and Madden. The only real teasers were for its legion of upcoming Star Wars games, headlined by the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront II, and “EA Originals,” a new partnership with indie developers that will begin with Fe, an atmospheric adventure. This year, however, we expect a bit more excitement. Here is how to watch the EA Play press conference.

How to watch

What to watch for

There is a handful of games that will definitely be shown. Star Wars Battlefront II, a new entry in the Need for Speed series, and a trio of sports games — Madden NFL 18, FIFA 18, and NBA Live 18 — are all confirmed to be playable at EA Play so they will assuredly get some coverage on stage.

EA has also teased that unannounced games will be shown and possibly there as playable demos as well. What could these games be? We already know that both Respawn Entertainment and Visceral Games are making Star Wars games for EA. Visceral’s is an action game and Respawn’s is an action-adventure. Could one or both of these untitled games be shown in action?

Technically, both of those Star Wars projects are “announced,” and if EA really wants to surprise us, it will present games that were completely unknown before now.

Hopefully, we will also receive firm release dates for the first two games in the EA Originals program, Fe and Sea of Solitude.

Battlefield 6 reveal stream: What time and where to watch
Battlefield Stream

The next entry in the Battlefield franchise is on the way, and it has been a long time coming. The wait between entries in the series has been extensive, with the last entry, Battlefield V, having been released in 2018. Needless to say, the hype has built up and fans are ready for a new Battlefield experience. To that end, EA has announced a stream taking place on June 9 to reveal the newest addition to the first-person shooter franchise.
When is the Battlefield stream?
EA will start its Battlefield stream at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET) on June 9. For now, it's not clear what format the show will take or if it will be part of a larger event EA has planned. We also don't know if the show will simply be a trailer or a full-on showcase including gameplay.
How to watch the Battlefield stream
Anyone interested in seeing what's next for the Battlefield franchise will be able to watch the show on either the official Battlefield YouTube channel or the Battlefield Twitch channel. Neither has a placeholder up for the stream, so be sure to follow both of those channels and turn on notifications to be alerted when the Battlefield stream begins.

What to expect from the Battlefield stream
As we said before, we're not sure what format the upcoming Battlefield stream will take on. However, we can speak to what will likely be shown. On Twitter, the official Battlefield account called the stream a "reveal," so we probably won't be seeing any gameplay at the event. A trailer will almost certainly debut, showing off the next entry in the Battlefield franchise. As for what that game might look like, it's been rumored that the next Battlefield game will pivot to a modern setting, a stark change after the two previous entries in the franchise.
