Before E3 starts properly on Tuesday, Microsoft will unveil its plans for the show at a press conference from Los Angeles' Galen Center. Ars will be on hand to liveblog the event at 9:30am PDT (12:30pm EDT, 5:30pm UK time) on Monday, June 13.

Reports suggest Microsoft could be planning a more powerful, VR-capable Xbox One for release next year as well as a smaller, cheaper version of the current system for later this year.
