Microsoft's E3 2016 press conference will be 90 minutes long

Microsoft’s E3 press conference will be 90 minutes long, head of Xbox Phil Spencer has confirmed, putting it at the same running time as last year’s.

Earlier today it was rumoured that a brand new Xbox One Slim will be revealed at the event, too, although it remains unclear whether a more powerful Xbox console will also be on show.

Microsoft’s conference will be followed almost immediately after by Ubisoft’s at 9pm and Sony’s at 2am later that evening.
