First Look: Xbox Series X Gameplay
What to expect:
"For the Xbox 20/20 May update, we will focus on giving you a first look at next-gen gameplay, trailers and sneak peeks from a wide variety of publishing partners and independent developers across the globe and industry, including Ubisoft’s recently announced Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and hear from game creators about what they’re doing with their games on Xbox Series X.
We’ll be confirming games that utilize our new Smart Delivery feature, which ensures that you always play the best version of the games you own for your console, across generations. And all the games you’ll see will be Xbox Series X Optimized, meaning they are built to take advantage of the powerful Xbox Series X features that make games look and feel incredible, including 4K resolution at up to 120 frames per second, DirectStorage, hardware-accelerated DirectX raytracing, super-fast load times and much more."

Unconfirmed or To Be Announced Events
• Sony
"After thorough evaluation SIE has decided not to participate in E3 2020," said a Sony Interactive Entertainment spokesperson. "We have great respect for the ESA as an organization, but we do not feel the vision of E3 2020 is the right venue for what we are focused on this year." This is what Sony told us in January, but that was before the whole COVID-19 situation started affecting the globe. Apparently this has changed Sony's plans for the PS5 reveal. Reports saying an April event was planned for the full PS5 reveal, but that is now reportedly delayed to late May or early June (according to Jason Schreier.
• Ubisoft
Ubisoft hasn't announced yet what its plans are but has said it's looking into ways to share all its planned announcements online in a "digital experience."
• Square Enix
We don't know Square Enix's plans in the wake of E3's cancellation but they're sure to have something to share.
• Bethesda
In past years, Bethesda has held down a pre-E3 in-person presentation with music, videos, and Todd Howard's bomber jacket. Bethesda has now said that it won't have a digital showcase in June. Apparently they will still be sharing things about their upcoming games (whew) but it won't come in that big bonanza format.
• Devolver Digital
Shortly after the news of E3's cancellation, Devolver tweeted that it's "bummed" but is planning "a livestream Devolver Direct / press conference and possibly more."
• Warner Bros.
Bad luck for Warner Bros. Apparently the studio was planning to host its first E3 press conference in 2020. We don't know what the Bros are planning now, but it would be surprising if the studio doesn't find a way to share plans online.
• Nintendo
Nintendo directly informed its partner developers that it will not hold a June Direct presentation: full stop. Venturebeat says that Nintendo was going to put on an event, but the declaration of the state of emergency in Japan has made that prospect too difficult. The estimated window for the next Direct is "the very end of summer." Nintendo specifically needs more time to develop their first party lineup before they're ready for primetime with a Direct. Also, Nintendo has allegedly informed partners to "not wait" for the Direct if they want to just reveal their projects via solo streams.
