As far as most fans are concerned, Xbox will be kicking off E3 week this year, but the company has just confirmed that it won't actually be o𝔍n the E3 show floor.

"We can't wait to host our Xbox Games Showcase on June 11 and will share more details later," an Xbox spokesperson tells . "We also loo꧒k forward to co-streaming our event as part of E3 Digital and will not be on the E3 showfloo♔r."

Earlier this week, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft confirmed the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:June 11 date for the Xbox Games𒀰 Showcase, with both it and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:June Starfield Direct conveniently timed to the start of the official 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2023 schedule. That raised some eyebrows about how directly Xbox was participating in the show, given rumors that the Big Th🐻ree console makers were skipping E3 this year. 澳洲幸运5开൲奖号𝓀码历史查询:Nintendo was the first to make it official, and PlayStation hasn't been at the shoꦓw for years, makജing its likely absence unsurprising.

It's worth noting, of course, that Xbox didn't make an appearance at the last physical E3 show, held in 2019, either. Skipping again here in 2023 might just be part of a longer-term strategy. But we're now just a few months out from E3, and while event organizers insist there's plenty to be excited about, we still don't have any big names on the exhibitor list. That is , though that publisher hasn't sounded too c𓂃ertain of its appearance.

Of course, unless you're actually going to E3, this probably won't matter much to you. There's still likely to be same week full of press conferences that you're used to watching from home. Just d👍on't expect to be seeing any big hands-on previews on the lat꧑est Xbox games coming out of the event.

Here are all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games you may or may not be seeing more of at E3.
