Adapting to the new trends will be critical for players in the massive video game industry which last year generated more than $135 billion globally, and $43.4 billion in the United States. Major games expected to be shown off at E3 included new installments of Call of Duty, Apex Legends, FIFA, Pokemon, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon.

Sony, whose PlayStation consoles are a key force in the industry, won’t be holding an E3 event this year, but Microsoft may provide more insight into its collaboration with its Japan-based console rival.
