Tokyo Game Show 2026 celebrated its 30th anniversary with game showcases, demos, and creator programming in Chiba. The event has wrapped up, but its official streams and archives still make a great starting point for a focused recap or reaction stream.
Tokyo Game Show 2026 was planned for September 17–21 at Makuhari Messe. Its September 21 in-person program was canceled because of Typhoon No. 25; official online programming continued.
Missed the show? Start with the official TGS program and participating publishers’ channels for broadcasts and replays. Pick the reveals your audience cares about, then build a recap around those moments.
Tokyo Game Show 2026 schedule and final-day change
Business Day 1: September 17, 10:00 to 17:00 JST
Business Day 2: September 18, 10:00 to 17:00 JST
Public Day 1: September 19, 9:30 to 17:00 JST
Public Day 2: September 20, 9:30 to 17:00 JST
Final day: September 21 in-person event canceled; official broadcasts continued online.
The organizers canceled the entire September 21 in-person event over safety and transport concerns. Some scheduled content moved online, so use the official program for broadcast and archive details.
Where to find the official replays
TGS distributed its official program across YouTube, X, NicoNico, Twitch, TikTok, DouYu, Bilibili, and Douyin. The official program page is the best place to check which recordings and publisher streams are available.
For a recap stream, choose a few reveals or demos that genuinely fit your channel. A short, well-paced discussion gives viewers more to take away than a long replay with no clear theme.
What made TGS 2026 different
TGS planned its first five-day edition for its 30th anniversary, with major publishers, indie developers, stage events, and creator activity. The typhoon reduced the in-person program to four days, while the final-day online broadcasts kept part of the show accessible from home.
