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 absolutely love pinball, this app will find you a table wherever you go
This free app helps pinball fans find machines around the world
Pinball

If you're the kind of person who plans vacations around vintage arcades, hunts down rare pinball machines, or misses that one table you played years ago, there's now a surprisingly useful tool built just for you.

Called Pinball Map, the free website and mobile app does exactly what its name suggests. It helps players locate public pinball machines almost anywhere in the world, whether they're tucked away inside dedicated arcades, neighborhood bars, restaurants, museums, breweries, or even campgrounds. Think of it as Google Maps, but instead of helping you find coffee shops, it points you to your next pinball game.

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance
