　　Now Playing: E3 2020 Is Officially Canceled - GS News Update

　　E3 has always been an important moment for Team Xbox. Given this decision, this year we'll celebrate the next generation of gaming with the @Xbox community and all who love to play via an Xbox digital event. Details on timing and more in the coming weeks https://t.co/xckMKBPf9h

　　— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) March 11, 2020

　　Microsoft was scheduled to share more details about the Xbox Series X--its next-generation console that was revealed last year, and is launching this holiday. Although Microsoft has been detailing its new hardware steadily over the past few weeks, its E3 showing was expected to have pricing news, new game reveals, and more.

　　Remembering E3's biggest announcementsE3 2020 was canceled over fears of the spread of the coronavirus, which has already led to the cancelation of GDC, SXSW, and more. Although the LACC will be empty for the show this year, the ESA expects to still hold E3 in 2021. Other companies will also move ahead with alternate E3 plans for this year; Ubisoft is exploring a digital event of its own, while Limited Run Games will still host its press conference.
