Will Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony be at Gamescom 2024?

Echoing the situation of the past few years, the PlayStation team is confirmed to be skipping Gamescom yet again for 2024. Nintendo is doing the same, confirming to a German publication in April that it won’t be among the exhibitors for this year’s event.

Microsoft, on the other hand, will have over 50 titles for show floor goers to pick up and play, with Gamescom reportedly set to feature more exhibitors than ever before, according to event organizer Koelnmesse.
