E3, the world’s largest gaming trade event, has been facing several challenges in recent years. From the sudden withdrawal of Sony in 2019 to the cancellation of the event due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2022, E3 has been struggling to stay relevant in the gaming industry. The event was scheduled to return in 2023 in collaboration with the company ReedPop, previously known for organizing PAX, but a recent report from IGN suggests that Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox will not be participating in the event.
