Xbox Live members will be happy to know that there is extra incentive to go to E3 2017 this year. Not only will they get to take part in the big event, but Xbox Heads Aaron Greenberg and Mike Ybarra have officially confirmed that there will indeed be an Xbox FanFest 2017.

The fan-focused event originally debuted a couple of years ago and since then, it’s been a big hit. Basically, a limited amount of Xbox fans could buy tickets to gather and experience the Xbox Booth long exclusive from the crowd. Not to mention meeting developers and Xbox team leaders, take part in fun activities and even get some cool swag.

It’s likely we’ll see some of the same restrictions for the E3 2017 Xbox FanFest as we did before. This means fans will probably need to be an adult and tickets will be one per person with a ‘first come, first serve’ policy. Currently, it sounds like the team is still in the planning process. “More details to come soon!”, Greenberg promised in his tweet.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
