Microsoft kicked things off with the first of two Xbox live shows at 8pm BST tonight. If you tuned in on Mixer to see new trailers and gameplay from previously announced games - such as Forza 7 and Sea of Thieves - then you’ll be given some free swag. If you missed out, you may still have a chance to get your hands on some goodies by watching the livestream tomorrow.

The second live show starts at the same time on Monday 21 August to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of Age of Empires.

EA's conference is also on Monday and gets underway at 5:30pm. We'll likely get some info on their yearly sports titles and hopefully Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Those interested in Call of Duty: WWII can catch the livestream at 6pm on Tuesday.

There's a special preview of Blizzard's briefing on Monday at 5pm which aims to get people hyped for the full showing on Wednesday. You can expect them to share details about new content for their biggest titles, including Overwatch, World of Warcraft and Hearthstone.

Nintendo will be hosting a livestream for Super Mario Odyssey on Wednesday at 2pm and another for Metroid: Samus Returns on Thursday at 11am.

Will be you be watching any of the live shows? Let us know what you're interested in seeing below or over in the forums.
