Xbox will be hosting its Tokyo Game Show Digital Broadcast on September 21 at 2am PT, promising new Xbox Game Pass announcements. Tokyo Game Show is consistently one of the biggest video game events of the year, home to surprise reveals and updates on previously-announced games.
As one might imagine, Tokyo Game Show is primarily focused on the gaming industry in Japan and Asia. However, that doesn't mean Tokyo Game Show isn't exciting for gamers in the west. Now that most games have worldwide launches, a lot of the announcements at Tokyo Game Show will be just as relevant to gamers elsewhere in the world as they are to gamers in Japan. Multiple companies will be hosting big showcases at Tokyo Game Show this year, including Xbox, with promises of new Xbox Game Pass announcements.
Microsoft recently confirmed that the Xbox Digital Broadcast for the Tokyo Game Show will take place on September 21 at 2am PT (which is 6pm JST). The broadcast will feature updates from both Xbox and Bethesda, with announcements for "exciting new games coming to Xbox Game Pass." Even though the event will be coinciding with Tokyo Game Show, it will be available in a variety of languages, so fans can tune in no matter where they're from.
When is the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2023 Event?
- September 21 at 2am PT
Specific games that will be showcased by Xbox at Tokyo Game Show this year weren't revealed, so fans will have to tune in to the event on September 21 to find out more. However, it seems likely that games like Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica will be featured. The event could also shine a spotlight on the efforts of Tango Gameworks, a Japan-based first-party Xbox studio that released Hi-Fi Rush earlier this year to rave reviews.
As far as the new Xbox Game Pass games that will be announced during the Tokyo Game Show event, it's really anyone's guess what they could be. Since the announcements are happening at Tokyo Game Show, though, one has to imagine that the new Xbox Game Pass game announcements will primarily revolve around Japan-developed games.
Xbox won't be the only company at Tokyo Game Show this year. Nintendo is expected to have a presence at the event, along with Square Enix, Capcom, and a number of other companies. Fans can look forward to fresh game announcements from these companies as well as updates on previously-announced titles.
