Schedule For Tokyo Game Show Gets Revealed With Its 2023 Event Taking Place Later This Month

Alike most global gaming shows, the 2020 pandemic put the annual event in a stranglehold as attendees & exhibitors were instructed to stay home. Amid that, the show alike other events resulted with livestreamed events as an alternative. However, 2023 is opening up for many shows with the likes of QuakeCon & Gamescom both returning to in-person shows earlier in August already.

And the same is already for Tokyo Game Show too. Although last year’s Tokyo Game Show did welcome attendees back to the show in-person, it is fully embraced for its 2023 event this year. One of the biggest highlights for Tokyo Game Show concerning western players happened to be the amount of involvement Microsoft made then. And it is expected this is to continue as well in 2023, of course.

This is confirmed by the newly released schedule for Tokyo Game Show 2023. The latest press release reveals the full timetable for this year’s Tokyo Game Show taking place later in September. You can read the full list below:
