Fortnite has carved out a huge portion of the online gaming pie in the time it has been live. And now Fortnite creator Epic Games will be headlining the*PC Gaming Show 2019 keynote event.*The event is set to take place live at The Mayan Theater in Los Angeles on June 10, which is one day before the show officially opens on June 11. The event will also include new updates from Warframe’s developer Digital Extremes, Tripwire Interactive, Perfect World Entertainment and others.

According to a report by PC Gamer, the show last year was viewed 4.7 million times and received a whopping 241 million impressions on social media. That made it one of the most-watched events at E3 and it was the only event that was dedicated to PC gaming. This bodes as really impressive numbers considering that PC gaming is usually not the focus when these events are organized. This is owed to the fact that PC gaming does not usually earn the developers as much as consoles do in terms of sale of titles.
