This year's Tokyo Game Show is being billed as one of the "largest ever " in the history of the annual event, and for a good reason - several names have been confirmed for the event, including Xbox.
It's no secret that Xbox wants to increase its presence in the Japanese gaming market, especially since Microsoft's console has historically lagged behind rivals Nintendo and Sony in the country. This, among other things, will go a long way in helping it catch up if only ever so slightly.
Xbox will use this opportunity to showcase its upcoming titles as it joins a crowded list of exhibitors for this year's event. The laundry list of confirmed companies joining the TGS includes Bandai Namo, Capcom, Koei Tecmo, Konami, Level 5, HoyoVerse, Square Enix, Sega/Atlus, Arc System Works, Playism, Kemco, Google Play, and many more.
Xbox rival Sony will be present in the indie area of the event while Nintendo will have a business meeting at the show. Kojima Productions will also be present but only in the merchandise area of the Tokyo Game Show.
According to CESA, this year's event will be the biggest show since the worldwide pandemic forced gaming conventions to reduce the scale of events. It will be the first time in four years that the whole of the Makuhari Messe venue will be occupied by the Tokyo Game Show.
