Main article: EB Games Expo 2015

The 2015 edition of the EB Games Expo ran from 2–4 October 2015 at the Sydney Showground.[6][7] The event had two "daylight" and "twilight" sessions, each 6 and 4 hours in length respectively, on 2 and 3 October, with one 6 hour session on 4 October, following the same format as the previous two years. The Dome (Hall 1), Ross Pavilion (Hall 2) and Binnie Pavilion (Hall 3) will once again host the exhibition floor itself. The Expo was the third to showcase games for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, and will be the fifth to showcase games for the Wii U. Multi-platform games Star Wars: Battlefront and Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be available to play exclusively at Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation stand.[8]
