As ever, the annual show will be held at Makuhari Messe, one of Japan's largest convention centres.

"Games will continue to brighten up the days of everybody now and forever-this year's theme implies such strong determination" (via Gematsu). In the full outline for this year's show, the organiser shared its "mission to create hope" and to update the possibilities of gaming. "Unprecedented excitement is always born out of something you have never imagined. "Let's open the gate to the forefront of games. Give courage and enthusiasm to everyone. Show your love of games to each other. "For everyone to share the 'great feeling of living in this era'. Let's dive into the heart of game craze. "Nothing Stops Gaming!!!" In 2020, the Tokyo Games Show was held as a fully virtual event, while in 2021 it was a hybrid mix of virtual and business-only physical showcases. But while this year will mark the first time in three years that the Tokyo Games Show is a physical event for all, there will still be plenty online for fans to check out. This will include free trials of demos and an 'online experience tour', as well as streams across YouTube, Twitch and Twitter of official programs by the organiser and exhibitors.
