Microsoft has locked in its Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 broadcast, teasing new games, updates, and hardware reveals later this month.
Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 broadcast date and time
The showcase is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, at 7 p.m. JST (3 a.m. PT / 6 a.m. ET / 11 a.m. UK). Mena Kato, Senior Director for Xbox Asia, promised updates from Xbox’s first-party teams and partners across Japan, Asia, and beyond.
“We know players around the world delight in Japan-inspired content and games developed in Asia,” Kato said. “We can’t wait to connect with players globally to highlight upcoming Xbox titles.”
Star Trek Day brings a Khan podcast, preschool show, Lego collab, and comics, kicking off big plans ahead of the franchise’s 60th anniversary.
Games expected at the broadcast
Microsoft has already hinted at a lineup of both first-party and third-party reveals. Likely inclusions are:
- Ninja Gaiden 4 — Developed by Team Ninja and PlatinumGames, published by Xbox Game Studios
- Forza Horizon 6 tease — Rumors point to a Tokyo street racing theme for the 2026 installment
- Bethesda updates — Fallout, Starfield, Doom, and Oblivion may get news tied to TGS merchandise plans
These highlights suggest the broadcast could blend fresh announcements with deeper looks at ongoing projects.
Hardware news coming to the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025
Beyond software, Microsoft will showcase the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X handhelds, co-developed with ASUS. Both are set for an October 2025 launch, but pricing details remain under wraps. TGS could be the venue where that mystery is finally resolved.
Why do fans expect a big surprise
Microsoft’s official TGS artwork shows an urban neon Tokyo streetscape filled with Xbox iconography. Some fans believe this visual identity points toward Forza Horizon 6’s rumored setting. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has already confirmed the next Forza is due in 2026, raising speculation that Tokyo’s racing culture may headline the reveal.
Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 could shape the next year
Between Ninja Gaiden’s return, possible Bethesda updates, and the debut of handheld hardware, the September broadcast has the potential to be one of Xbox’s most important showcases before 2026. If the Forza rumors prove true, it may also mark the beginning of Xbox’s next big global push.
