Leave a Comment / Gaming News / Chris S.

With E3 being one of, if not the biggest game show every year, it was a huge letdown to learn that it was going to be canceled for 2020.

Of course, E3 was a big chance for Microsoft to showcase all the new Xbox related goodies, so in the absence of that opportunity, they’ve settled on digital events, similar to Nintendo Direct videos. They’re calling this video series Xbox 20/20. These monthly videos will lead up to the holidays, when the Xbox Series X is to release.
