"Summer Game Fest 2023 and Capcom Showcase: What to Expect"

The video game industry is growing larger, but from a player perspective, it feels like it's shrinking. Summer Game Fest 2023 is happening after four years, and the industry has changed drastically since the last big summer showcase. Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 have been on the market for more than two years, subscription-based cloud services are viable, and the indie and AA space has found its footing again. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Sony have been acquiring talented studios to pad their new platforms with exclusive games.
