Xbox Gears Up for Tokyo Game Show 2024: Big Announcements Coming to Game Pass

Alright, gamers, it's that time of year again! Microsoft has officially confirmed its presence at Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2024, and trust me, it's going to be big. If you're an Xbox fan (or just curious about what’s next), mark your calendars for Thursday, September 26. The show kicks off at 7 PM local time in Japan – that's 3 AM PT, 6 AM ET, and for my UK folks, 11 AM.

What’s Coming?

Microsoft is teasing some exciting news, especially for Xbox Game Pass lovers. Expect fresh updates from Xbox Game Studios, along with our faves from Activision, Blizzard Entertainment, and Bethesda. But the real cherry on top? Games from third-party partners across Japan and Asia, with a special focus on new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass. Yup, more reasons to be glued to your console. 😏

Last year’s TGS brought us gems like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Persona 3 Reload, and Like a Dragon Gaiden. So, if that lineup's anything to go by, this year’s announcement is bound to be 🔥.

Where To Watch?

You can catch the whole thing live on TGS’s official YouTube channel and select Xbox social channels. And don’t worry if you're not fluent in Japanese—Microsoft's covering all the bases with translations in English, Korean, Chinese (Simplified + Traditional), Malay, Thai, and way more, even including sign language broadcasts! Yep, they’re really going global with this one.

Kojima’s Got Something Too 👀

Oh, and if you’re into Death Stranding, here’s a bonus: Kojima Productions will have a panel all about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, featuring none other than Hideo Kojima himself. He’ll be joined by his filmmaker buddy Nicolas Winding Refn to talk about the sequel. So, if you're hyped for more Norman Reedus vibes, this one's for you!

TL;DR:

  • Date: September 26, 2024
  • Time: 7 PM JST (3 AM PT / 6 AM ET / 11 AM UK)
  • Where: TGS YouTube, Xbox social channels
  • What to Expect: News on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Studios, and third-party Japanese/Asian games
  • Bonus: Kojima's panel for Death Stranding 2

So, ready your snacks, set your alarms (if you're crazy enough to watch it live at 3 AM like me), and get hyped. Xbox Game Pass is about to get even better, and who knows what surprises are in store. 🎮
