PlayStation is fully returning to Tokyo Game Show

Sony Interactive Entertainment will attend the “largest ever” Tokyo Game Show, it has been announced.

The trade show, which will take place in September, will see 731 exhibitors and 3190 booths. The show will take place in the Makuhari Messe in Mihama-ku, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture.

Sony was present at Tokyo Game Show 2023, but only presented independent titles as part of its involvement in the show.  Capcom, Konami, and other large Japanese publishers have also been announced as attendees of this year’s show.

It is currently unclear what Sony plans to exhibit at the show, as its largest currently announced titles, such as Astro Bot, will have been released by the time the show takes place.

It is expected that a quarter of a million visitors will attend the show when it takes place from September 26 until September 29.

The PlayStation maker’s attendance was under question following recent news that it has reportedly decided not to attend Gamescom 2024.

Sony most recently appeared at Gamescom in 2019, which was the last in-person edition of the show before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sony recently said it expects PS5 hardware sales to decline during its current year, which runs to March 2025, and confirmed it plans to release no “major existing franchise titles” during this 12-month period.

It used a State of Play presentation in May to announce launch dates for 2024 releases, including Concord (August 23), Astro Bot (September 6) and the PC version of God of War Ragnarök (September 19).
