I really wonder if we will get any announcements. The company said they were not doing any of the summer showcases as they did not have anything that was ready to be revealed. Then we saw stuff in the PS5 showcase. So who knows. I figure it will more likely be hey this update is coming for Fallout 76, this one for DOOM Eternal, ETC. Usually they make their announcements during E3 and then use Quakecon for updates.
This is some really valuable information for those who work in the industry. Game Developers Conference (GDC) Survey Reveals Impact of COVID-19 on the Video Game Industry.
This should be an interesting experience this year as GDC has revealed what to expect from their virtual show.

Its only been two weeks. Oh and anonymous deny any responsibility for the PSN breach. Yes, they were most likely the ones that did it, but no one knows for sure.
How did this get approved it's nonsense!
