The Electronic Entertainment Expo 2018 (E3 2018) was the 24th 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 12–14, 2018,[1] with many companies holding press conferences in the days prior. With the industry still in the middle of the eighth generation of video game consoles, no new hardware was introduced, and publishers and developers principally focused on new games to be released in 2018 and beyond. The event drew 69,200 attendees, the largest since 2005.[2]

E3 2018 was the final time Sony Interactive Entertainment participated in the conference. Sony would skip E3 2019 and E3 2021 entirely before the expo went defunct in 2023.[3]

Format and changes

[edit]

E3 2018 took place from June 12 to 14, 2018 in the Los Angeles Convention Center. In the days prior, major publishers hold 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 run exhibition booths to allow industry members, the press, retail representatives, and the public to try out the new games and talk with the creators. Several side events were also held in nearby venues, including video game tournaments.

Like the previous year, E3 2018 offered public access passes to the event, following from its first such offering during E3 2017. However, to address issues with over-crowding in the exhibitor halls, E3 2018 was open on two days with industry-only access for a few hours before permitting public access to the exhibitors. Only those with complimentary industry passes and publicly purchasable business passes were able to take part in these exclusive hours.[4][5] 1,000 of the public passes, called "Gamer Passes" were sold at US$149 with the rest of the public passes being sold for $249 on a first-come–first-served basis. Those passes, as well as the business passes went on sale on February 12, 2018.[6]

Thursday, June 14, opened to all badge holders from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, marking the only day without segmented access.

Reception and Legacy

Media and Fan Response

Media coverage of E3 2018 highlighted strong praise for Nintendo's reveal of , which was lauded for its ambitious roster expansion and polished gameplay demo during the presentation. Critics noted the event's high-energy showcase as a standout moment, generating widespread excitement among attendees and online audiences. Similarly, Microsoft's briefing received acclaim for its ambitious lineup of 52 announced titles, including new entries in the Halo and series, marking it as the company's largest E3 presentation to date. The conference's focus on studio acquisitions and cross-platform ambitions was seen as a bold strategic pivot. However, Sony's PlayStation event drew mixed reactions, with critics describing its trailer-heavy format—emphasizing extended looks at titles like Death Stranding and The Last of Us Part II—as confusing and poorly paced, despite the quality of the games shown. The approach prioritized cinematic depth over new announcements, leading to perceptions of underwhelm compared to prior years. Concerns also arose around Electronic Arts' Battlefield V, where ongoing backlash from the loot box controversies of Star Wars Battlefront II prompted questions about microtransactions; EA assured attendees that the game would feature only cosmetic purchases, with no pay-to-win elements or loot crates. Fan engagement surged across platforms, with E3 2018 generating nearly 15 million tweets under hashtags like #E3 and #E32018, reflecting intense online buzz. Nintendo dominated social conversations, as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate became the most-tweeted newly announced game. Trailers amassed massive viewership, exemplified by Cyberpunk 2077's E3 cinematic reaching over 13.5 million views across uploads within days of its debut. Twitch streams broke records, peaking at 2.9 million concurrent viewers and accumulating 1.6 billion minutes watched overall. Early accolades underscored the event's highlights, with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate securing multiple "Best of E3" honors, including Best Fighting Game from the Game Critics Awards, Game Informer, and IGN. Other nods went to Microsoft's showcase for its viewer records and Sony's trailers for visual impact, though no single conference dominated all categories.

Industry Impact

The E3 2018 event underscored strategic shifts in how major publishers approached trade shows, with Sony's participation marking one of its final major involvements before announcing in November 2018 that it would skip entirely, a decision that signaled the company's pivot toward independent digital showcases like State of Play and away from the traditional E3 format starting that year. This move reflected broader industry trends toward cost efficiency and direct-to-consumer engagement, as physical events like E3 became less central for hardware giants. These trends culminated in the permanent discontinuation of E3 by the in December 2023. Meanwhile, Nintendo's reliance on its presentation during E3 2018 exemplified the rising popularity of digital events, allowing the company to bypass the convention floor entirely while maintaining high viewer engagement and reinforcing a model that other publishers would emulate in subsequent years. Economically, E3 2018 drove notable charitable outcomes through events like the Pro-Am tournament, which featured 50 professional players paired with celebrities and distributed a $3 million prize pool entirely to charities, with the winning team—streamers and musician —donating $1 million to causes of their choice. While pre-order sales for some announced titles surged post-event, experienced weaker-than-expected reservations compared to competitors like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, ultimately contributing to a delay and falling short of ' sales projections despite 7.3 million units sold by year's end. The long-term performance of several showcased live-service titles was mixed; for instance, faced significant initial criticism for technical issues and design choices but saw improvements through updates, while struggled with player retention and was discontinued in 2021. These dynamics highlighted E3's role in generating immediate hype and revenue spikes, even amid varying commercial performances. The event also set key trends in game development, with a pronounced emphasis on live-service models evident in major reveals like , , and , which prioritized ongoing multiplayer updates, battle royale modes, and post-launch content to sustain player engagement in an increasingly subscription-oriented market. Complementing this, the PC Gaming Show provided crucial visibility for indie developers, showcasing over a dozen independent titles such as , , and Noita, and offering a dedicated stage that helped smaller studios secure funding and partnerships amid the dominance of AAA announcements. Controversies at E3 2018 intensified debates over monetization practices, particularly loot boxes, as developers from Electronic Arts and others repeatedly assured audiences during presentations that upcoming titles like Anthem would exclude them following the backlash against Star Wars Battlefront II's pay-to-win elements. Discussions also extended to online requirements, with Battlefield V's multiplayer-centric design and lack of offline single-player options drawing criticism for potentially limiting accessibility in an era of growing concerns about always-online mandates. Post-event, these issues influenced regulatory scrutiny worldwide. Additionally, Geoff Keighley's role in producing the E3 Coliseum stage show concluded after 2019, with his departure announced ahead of 2020 amid frustrations over the event's evolving direction, further signaling E3's internal challenges following the 2018 edition.
