Sony has confirmed it will not participate in E3 2020, marking the second consecutive year the company has skipped the gaming industry's major annual event. This decision comes as Sony prepares for the PlayStation 5 launch and reflects the company's changing approach to gaming announcements and fan engagement.

A Sony Interactive Entertainment spokesperson stated that while they respect the ESA organization, they don't believe E3 2020 aligns with their current focus. This decision highlights the ongoing evolution of E3, which has struggled to balance being both an industry-exclusive event and a fan-focused convention.

Instead of attending E3, Sony plans to:

  • Participate in hundreds of consumer events globally
  • Focus on direct engagement with PlayStation fans
  • Showcase their upcoming PlayStation 4 titles
  • Celebrate the PlayStation 5 launch with their community

According to rumors, Sony may reveal the PlayStation 5 as soon as next month at their own dedicated event, demonstrating their preference for controlling their announcement timeline and presentation format.
