The PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct returns September 20

It's been over a month since the summer PC Gaming Show aired. I may be biased, but I loved it. We had more world premieres than ever before, some shadowdrops, and got deep dives into the mind-bending Control Resonant, galaxy-spanning Total War: Warhammer 40,000, and tactical PvP looter Arkheron. You can catch up on the entire show right here. But don't you just wish there was another show coming up soon, say, September 20? Well, there is. The PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct is coming back Sunday, September 20, 2026.

Last year we flew PC Gamer's own Midas Whittaker out to Tokyo for our first-ever Tokyo Direct, a smaller show nestled right between our summer PC Gaming Show and December's Most Wanted round-up. He had a blast and his merch became the envy of the office for the next month.

We also had a nose around the famous Tokyo Game Show floor to get a closer look at all the wonderful videogames on offer. What are we doing this year? Well, you'll have to stay tuned to learn more about what we have in store for you with this next iteration of the show.

Details

What I can say for certain is that we'll have more awesome games for you to see. I can't let you know what any of them are because that would ruin the surprise, so you'll have to catch the show for yourself to find out. You'll be able to watch it in all the usual places, such as Steam, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and X. There will undoubtedly be a bunch of streamers who you can watch along with, too, if you like chatting about everything as it's announced. We'll reveal the full list of places you can go to gawk at the games closer to showtime.

In the meantime, catch up on everything revealed during our 2025 Tokyo Direct.
