E3 2023 is officially canceled, the Entertainment Software Association announced, but plenty of digital summer game showcases are still going ahead. The ESA made a statement late on March 30, 2023, and while the organization didn’t say what prompted the decision, it seems the show would have been rather empty had it gone ahead. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo weren’t attending, and despite initially promising to show up, Ubisoft canceled and announced its own showcase during the same period.
