The Tokyo Game Show 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting event, with major industry players like Sony Interactive Entertainment, Sega, and Square Enix confirmed to attend. This year’s show will take place from September 25 to 28 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, and promises to showcase the latest innovations and trends in gaming. In addition to the big names, Kojima Productions and Capcom will also make their presence felt, especially in the extensive merchandise area, which is known for exclusive items.

In a significant shift for the gaming industry, Obsidian’s highly anticipated title, The Outer Worlds 2, has been confirmed as Xbox’s first $80 game. This announcement follows Microsoft’s recent decision to raise game prices, reflecting the increasing costs associated with game development. As gamers prepare for this new price point, the implications for the industry and consumer expectations are profound. The price hike isn’t isolated to Xbox; Nintendo has also joined the fray with its own $80 title, Mario Kart World, coinciding with the launch of the Switch 2.
