Nintendo won't be at E3 2023

Nintendo is the latest of the big gaming companies to bow out of E3 this year. The company said this year's show "didn't fit into our plans," so they've opted out of having a presence on the show floor. We might get a Nintendo Direct event in June, but it won't be connected with the expo. 

Microsoft hasn't confirmed that it would be part of this year's show. But Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer recently hinted that the company plans its annual showcase in Los Angeles this summer around the same time as E3 (which runs between June 13 and 16). Meanwhile, Sony hasn't had a presence since 2018. And there are rumours it plans to host a major showcase ahead of E3.

Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo rumoured to skip E3 2023

If the reports are accurate, we won't see the big console makers at E3 2023. A new report from IGN claims Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo won't be coming to the first in-person event since 2020. Sony hasn't been part of the conference since 2019, while Microsoft said it would do a showcase in LA this summer. But the company hasn't mentioned E3 outright. While Nintendo's Direct video presentations generate enough buzz, so it might not want to share the E3 spotlight. E3 is happening from June 13 to 16, so we'll definitely hear more about the game show soon.
