最近幾周，大公司和發行商在一系列報道和聲明中證實，他們不會參加2023年的E3，先是任天堂和微軟，然後是最近的育碧和世嘉。隨後有報道稱，該活動可能被完全取消。這一說法現已得到官方證實。

今年的官方活動主辦方ESA和ReedPop最近宣佈：原定於6月13日至6月16日舉行的2023年E3已正式取消

ESA和ReedPop在一份聲明中表示:“這是一個艱難的決定，因爲我們和我們的合作伙伴爲舉辦這次活動付出了所有努力，但我們必須做對行業和E3有利的事情。我們理解並理解感興趣的公司還沒有準備好可玩的演示版本，而今年夏天E3展的資源挑戰也成爲了他們無法克服的障礙。對於那些承諾參加2023年E3的人，我們很抱歉我們不能爲你們展示你們應得的，以及你們對ReedPop的活動體驗的期待。”

E3已經在不同程度上掙扎了好幾年，2018年的E3是最後一個功能齊全的活動。2019年的E3展是索尼自舉辦以來首次退出，而2020年的E3展則因COVID-19大流行而完全取消。該節目於2021年迴歸，但容量非常有限，而且是純數字活動，而在2022年，它再次被取消。

Major companies and publishers had confirmed in recent weeks in a string of reports and announcements that they wouldn’t be involved in E3 2023, starting with the likes of Nintendo and Microsoft and then, more recently, Ubisoft and Sega following in their footsteps. Reports subsequently emerged, claiming that the event could be cancelled altogether imminently. That has now been officially confirmed. E3 2023, which was set to take place from June 13 to June 16, has been officially cancelled, it was announced recently by the ESA and ReedPop, this year’s official event organizers. In a statement to IGN, the ESA and ReedPop said, “This was a difficult decision because of all the effort we and our partners put toward making this event happen, but we had to do what’s right for the industry and what’s right for E3. We appreciate and understand that interested companies wouldn’t have playable demos ready and that resourcing challenges made being at E3 this summer an obstacle they couldn’t overcome. For those who did commit to E3 2023, we’re sorry we can’t put on the showcase you deserve and that you’ve come to expect from ReedPop’s event experiences.” E3 has been struggling to varying degrees for a number of years, with E3 2018 having been the last fully-featured event to be put on. E3 2019 saw Sony backing out from the show for the first time since its inception, while E3 2020 was cancelled altogether due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show returned in 2021, but in very limited capacity and as a digital-only event, while in 2022, it was cancelled again. The month of June still has a number of major gaming events and showcases scheduled, however, including Summer Game Fest, the Xbox Games Showcase (which will be followed immediately by the Starfield Direct), and Ubisoft Forward. Reportedly, Sony also has a PlayStation Showcase planned for around that time. Meanwhile, leaks have claimed that Konami, too, had big plans for E3 2023, with announcements lined up for a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake and a new Castlevania game, though it remains to be seen how the company will shift plans now that the event has been cancelled.
