The PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct returns September 20
The PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct is returning on September 20, 2026, establishing itself as an annual event following the success of its inaugural edition last year. The smaller showcase will continue to be positioned between the main PC Gaming Show events, providing a focused platform for game announcements and deep dives.
Last year’s debut Tokyo Direct was well-received by organizers and featured notable announcements and gameplay showcases. The recent summer PC Gaming Show set a high bar with record-breaking world premieres, shadow drops, and in-depth looks at upcoming titles including the mind-bending puzzle game Control Resonant, the strategy epic Total War: Warhammer 40,000, and the tactical PvP looter Arkheron.
The decision to make Tokyo Direct an annual tradition reflects the success of bringing PC gaming coverage to Japan, with plans to send representatives to cover the event in person. The show will continue serving as a venue for PC gaming announcements and developer showcases.
