Xbox has officially confirmed its return to Tokyo Game Show 2025 with a special broadcast on September 25 at 7 p.m. JST (3 a.m. PT / 6 a.m. ET / 11 a.m. UK). The showcase will highlight upcoming titles from Xbox’s global teams along with updates from Japanese and Asian partners, a region that has become increasingly central to the company’s gaming and cloud strategy.
What to Expect from the Broadcast
Xbox has not revealed the lineup yet. However, the event traditionally features world premieres, Japanese-developed titles, and global updates for Game Pass. This year could bring spotlights on games aimed at Asian audiences. As well as updates on Xbox’s long-term commitment to cloud gaming, which has been steadily growing in Japan since the launch of Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Last year’s TGS broadcast included announcements around Japanese RPGs and partnerships with local studios. That trend is expected to continue as Xbox works to strengthen its library with content that resonates in Japan and across Asia.
Expanding Cloud Gaming in Japan
Microsoft has leaned heavily on cloud technology to grow its presence in the Japanese market. In the territory, console sales have historically lagged behind competitors. By making Game Pass titles playable instantly across devices, Xbox has tapped into Japan’s mobile-first gaming culture. The TGS 2025 broadcast is expected to reinforce that message. All by showcasing how the cloud delivers new experiences to players who may not own an Xbox console.
How to Watch
The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 Broadcast will stream live on Xbox’s social channels and the official TGS YouTube channel. With simultaneous support in more than a dozen languages. Accessibility features such as Japanese and American Sign Language, plus audio descriptions in English and Japanese, will also be included.
