XBOX Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast Set for September 17

XBOX will broadcast its Tokyo Game Show presentation on September 17, with several upcoming games confirmed for the event.

XBOX has officially announced the date and time for its upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2026 presentation, giving fans a chance to hear the company’s big announcement. The event is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 17, and will feature a range of announcements and updates regarding Microsoft’s presence at the Japanese gaming show.

The broadcast will commence at 3 a.m. Pacific Time and 6 a.m. according to an official XBOX statement, 10 a.m. Eastern Time. Microsoft did not share the full list of games to be showcased at the event but said many games will be shown at the Tokyo Game Show booth. Confirmed games are Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Minecraft Dungeons 2.

Fans will be able to get their hands on the upcoming releases, as participants in Tokyo will be able to try out both games right at the event. The addition of Modern Warfare 4 is particularly notable, as Call of Duty has been a perennial staple at gaming events. But what XBOX actually plans to show during its broadcast is uncertain, and there’s plenty of room for surprises.

There could yet be a few surprises in store in the XBOX’s Tokyo Game Show broadcast.

It’s difficult to predict XBOX’s whole Tokyo Game Show lineup, particularly since the company’s plans often shift substantially from one year to the next. Minecraft Dungeons 2 and Modern Warfare 4 are confirmed to have a presence on the floor, which gives us some clues, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it represents the whole of XBOX’s plans for the broadcast.

Microsoft has also deepened its collaboration with Sega in recent years, which might be the source of more announcements during the presentation. Sega has been teaming up more with XBOX lately, so it’ll be interesting to see what they’re bringing to the table.

Fans can look forward to additional details regarding Persona 6. While a release date or even a more concrete launch window would give fans a clearer sense of when the highly anticipated RPG will arrive, there’s still no guarantee the game will really be presented during XBOX’s Tokyo Game Show presentation.

If Microsoft ends up dropping more material, Persona 6 might be a massive surprise.

It can be difficult for Western viewers to watch the show live because of the broadcast times. If you live on the West Coast, tune in at 3:00 a.m.; on the East Coast, start watching at 6:00 a.m. Still, those interested in announced Japanese and global releases for the XBOX may want to tune in, even with the early start.

Microsoft has only disclosed a sliver of the lineup, and there may be further announcements or updates coming throughout the show. As for XBOX fans, we may note September 17 on our calendar for now and keep hopeful. Confirmed for the Tokyo Game Show floor are Minecraft Dungeons 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, while a specific broadcast schedule is not yet known.
