2023’s Tokyo Game Show event is right around the corner and is bringing a plethora of new game announcements straight from Japan. This year’s Tokyo Game Show is said to be the biggest yet, as many video games companies such as Microsoft, SEGA/Atlus, Capcom, Konami, Square Enix, HoyoVerse, and more are attending to unveil the latest news for their upcoming games or reveal brand-new ones.
Xbox plays a big part in the barrage of announcements coming out of Tokyo Game Show 2023.

Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks are both expected to announce progress updates, while Xbox’s growing list of Japanese partners will show off a diverse array of upcoming games, including several heading to Xbox Game Pass.
