Xbox has officially confirmed that it will not be involved in E3 2023’s showfloor this year, though it won’t be entirely uninvolved with E3’s digital plans. Prior to the pandemic, E3 was seen as one of if not the most important video game convention every year. Frustrations with E3’s organizers, the ESA, combined with the pandemic leading to events going online, led to E3 alternatives taking root. Now, Xbox is just one of many companies that appear to be forgoing the E3 showfloor going forward.
