PlayStation is the latest big company to announce it will skip Gamescom this year.
The annual European show, held in Cologne, was traditionally the world’s largest in terms of visitors. This summer will see Gamescom return as a physical event for the first time since 2019, albeit with fewer publishers in attendance.
PlayStation confirmed its decision to skip Gamescom 2022 in a statement to German publication Games Wirtschaft (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz), where it also confirmed it would not feature any announcements in the show’s Geoff Keighley-fronted livestream Opening Night Live.
