Tokyo Game Show 2026 (TGS 2026), celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, kicked off on September 17 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Having built 30 years of history since holding its first event in 1996, this year's TGS stands out right from its scale. For the first time, the event duration has been extended to five days, with Business Days running for two days on September 17 and 18, before welcoming public visitors for three days from September 19 to 21. It is literally the longest TGS in history.
Fitting for the extended schedule, new games and various playable demos from game companies around the globe were on display throughout the exhibition halls. Although it was Business Day before general attendees were admitted, the venue was already bustling from early in the morning with industry insiders and media eager to check out the new games first. Here is a look at the scenes from the first Business Day of TGS 2026, as it kicks into high gear ahead of the five-day festival.
