It's almost time for the Xbox showcase at the Tokyo Game Show 2026! As usual, Xbox is bringing us this annual event that's likely to feature brand-new announcements along with closer looks at various upcoming games.

In this guide, we're going to tell you everything you need to know about the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 showcase ahead of it airing later this week. Let's get going!

What Date Is The Xbox Tokyo Game Show Event?

The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 showcase takes place on Thursday, September 17th.

What Time Does The Xbox Showcase Start?

The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 showcase kicks off at 3am PDT / 6am EDT / 11am BST on September 17th. Based on previous versions of this event, we expect it to last for around 50 minutes in all.

Here's a full list of start times for various regions:

• North America: 3am PDT / 4am MDT / 5am CDT / 6am EDT
• UK/Ire: 11am BST
• Europe: 12pm CEST / 1pm EEST

What Will Be Shown At Xbox's Tokyo Game Show Event?

We're pretty much in the dark about what to expect from the Xbox Tokyo showcase in 2026, although Xbox has teased that it'll feature "an exciting lineup of games coming to the platform this year" including "TGS-exclusive content, new gameplay and moments built specifically for this stage".

The official video description for the event also mentions "exciting updates from our partners and creative teams in Japan, across Asia, and around the world".

For what it's worth, the trailer shows off the following titles:

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
• Crazy Taxi: World Tour
• Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember

This is typically a showcase that includes surprises of the third-party variety — quite often involving smaller titles getting announced for Xbox Game Pass — so we anticipate at least a few unexpected reveals. Forza Horizon 6 was actually announced here in 2025 as well, although there's no sign of anything on that level being unveiled in 2026.

Here's a look at all the reveals from Xbox's Tokyo Game Show events over the past couple of years:
