Microsoft changes Xbox E3 2017 media briefing to Sunday

In an email sent to the gaming media earlier today, and later announced on social media, Microsoft announced it is changing its Xbox E3 2017 media briefing to Sunday, June 11 at 2PM PT / 5PM ET. In previous years, Microsoft’s Xbox division has had its presentations on Mondays. An explanation for the change was not mentioned.

The E3 2017 Microsoft event will return this year to The Galen Center in Los Angeles, CA. As seen in the image, it seems like the main topic in the presentation will be all about Project Scorpio, the upcoming and most powerful hardware version of the Xbox One, to be launched during the holidays.
