EA is calling off the EA Play Live amid protests.

Electronic Arts has announced that the EA Play Live showcase, originally scheduled for June 11, 2020, has been delayed until June 18, 2020, at 4 PM PT/7 PM ET.

EA announced the decision with a message stating “with the important conversations taking place and important voices being heard around the world right now, we’re moving our time to come together in play.”

EA Play Live is far from the only event being delayed as a response to global protests following the death of George Floyd.

Call of Duty delayed an update to Modern Warfare, Fortnite delayed the debut of Chapter 2’s Season 3, the Cyberpunk 2077 news broadcast was pushed back two weeks, and Sony even delayed the PS5 game reveal event.

Along with delaying events, other game developers have supported the worldwide protests. This includes Rockstar, who shut down GTA V and Red Dead Online servers during George Floyd’s memorial and Call of Duty committing to the ban of racist usernames.
