XBOX @ Tokyo Game Show 2026

Xbox will mark its 25th anniversary with a dedicated broadcast and presence at Tokyo Game Show 2026, highlighting over two decades of operations in Japan. The event includes a live stream on September 17 at 7:00pm JST, showcasing new games and exclusive content tailored for the Japanese market. Hosted by Misuzu Araki, the broadcast will feature Tokyo Game Show-exclusive gameplay and regional highlights. The program aims to reflect the creativity and influence of Japanese and broader Asian developers on Xbox’s global platform.
