According to IGN, Nintendo and Microsoft both opted out of the occasion for various reasons. When it comes to Nintendo, it was obviously because the company has a lighter release schedule planned for the second half of the year. In Microsoft’s case, the business is obviously avoiding E3 due to the fact that it will be holding its own physical showcase the week before E3. The outlet did not provide any reasoning for PlayStation’s lack, but the company opted out of E3 2019, and had actually currently announced its choice to skip E3 2020 prior to the occasion was cancelled.

E3 has a rich history within our market, and we are constantly heartened to feel the enthusiasm for the program and hear what it means to various individuals. Reviving a trade show after a worldwide pandemic and a three-year hiatus was constantly going to have its challenges, which is why we conducted a comprehensive search (in consultation with the ESA member business) to identify the best partner to produce E3. In selecting Reed POP as our partner, we have been able to use their abundant history of hosting popular market occasions, like PAX, and broader customer programs, like Comic Con, the statement checks out.

Yesterday, IGN reported that Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox will all be avoiding this year’s E3 event. E3 2023 will be the first in-person E3 event considering that 2019, and the ESA’s message mentions the problems with reviving the show after so much time off.

Despite these major absences, there are still a variety of huge business that might make E3 a beneficial occasion. Hopefully the ESA and Reed POP can make the show a pleasurable one for the market as an entire!
