Microsoft had a decent showing with Ara, Age of Empires, Starfield, Gamepass and some small things.

Surprised that SIE was completely absent.

Overall the show was okay, dragged in some spots like CoD.

SIE has skipped Gamescom before. I also think they really have anything really worth showing, that they couldn't announce via a SOP at the moment. So why would they be there, to show even more of SM2? Much better to show updates on your games when the rest of the industry isn't fighting for the same attention.

Like I said above, SIE has a history of putting some small thing in some of these shows to spread out announcements. 

Like last year they had the DualSense Edge, and technically some Destiny stuff. 

I'm not surprised they didn't have much to show, but surprised there was absolutely no mention of SIE.
