Authoritative insider Tom Henderson has compiled a list of the most important events that await the gaming industry in 2023.

Important Game Industry Events According to Henderson:

  • Nintendo will announce its new console. It will probably be called Switch 2.
  • Rockstar Games will officially unveil the first details about Grand Theft Auto 6 and release a debut trailer. Henderson suggests the game will be released in 2025.
  • The deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard will close. No one knows what verdict the regulators will reach or how the numerous proceedings will end. But by mid-2023 there will be a denouement, whatever it may be: Microsoft will either buy Activision Blizzard or it won't.
  • Tom Henderson expects Sony to release an improved version of the PlayStation 5 in September 2023. Announcement of the new console should be expected in the first half of the year.
  • Microsoft will release a special version of Xbox consoles focused on cloud-based gameplay. It is believed that by the end of 2023, it will already go on sale. It is likely that the device, code-named Project Keystone, will be tied to the Xbox Cloud Gaming service, which is already successfully used, for example, in Samsung smart TVs.

Of course, this is not all of the developments that are expected in 2023. The gaming industry has reached such a level that we can expect global news every day. Well, we'll see.
