Microsoft has confirmed it won’t be on the show floor at this year’s E3.
In a statement to IGN, a spokesperson for the company echoed the sentiment, but said the company looks forward to supporting the show through Digital Week.
“We can’t wait to host our Xbox Games Showcase on June 11th and will share more details later,” the representative said. “We’re also looking forward to co-streaming our event as part of E3 Digital and not being on the E3 exhibit floor.”
E3 2023 Digital Week kicks off on Sunday, June 11 with a number of online showcases, including the PC Gaming Show, Future Gaming Show, Guerilla Collective, a dedicated Starfield Direct, and Black Voices in Gaming.
E3 Industry Days will run from June 13th to June 15th and is reserved for registered contributors to video games, media and content creators. The E3 Days of Gamers will be held on June 15-16 and will be open to public, industry and media participants.
This will be the first in-person E3 since COVID ruined everyone’s fun.
