A Major Exhibitor at TGS 2024
Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is confirmed as a major exhibitor at TGS 2024, marking their first substantial presence in four years. The official exhibitor list reveals SIE's participation in the General Exhibit, securing multiple booths across Halls 1 to 8. This contrasts with their limited presence at TGS 2023, where they only showcased indie games in a dedicated demo area. This year, Sony joins industry giants like Capcom and Konami in the main exhibition halls.
While the specifics of Sony's exhibit remain undisclosed, their May 2024 State of Play presentation previewed several 2024 game releases, many of which will likely have launched by the time of TGS. Furthermore, Sony's recent financial reports indicated no plans for major new franchise releases before April 2025.
The Largest TGS Yet
TGS 2024, held at Makuhari Messe from September 26th to 29th, is poised to be the largest yet. As of July 4th, the event boasts 731 exhibitors (448 Japanese and 283 international) and 3190 exhibition booths.
International attendees can secure tickets starting July 25th, 12:00 JST. Options include a 3000 JPY one-day pass or a 6000 JPY Supporters Club Ticket, offering a commemorative T-shirt, sticker, and priority entry. Visit the official website for complete ticketing information.
