PS5's Ginormous Tokyo Game Show Booth Will Make You Wish You Were in Japan

Lots to see and do

by Sammy Barker 2:30pm

Sony’s presence at Tokyo Game Show is important because the platform holder’s generally been skipping conventions. It did appear at ChinaJoy in Shanghai earlier in the year, and now it’s at the Makuhari Messe, showing off games like Astro Bot, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

The booth is absolutely gigantic, and has all kinds of little flourishes: the 30th Anniversary hardware collection is on display, there are PS5 Pro demos for Gran Turismo 7, and you can even play a real-life Astro Bot gacha machine. All in all, it’s really great to see PlayStation starting to reappear at conventions around the world, and we hope this continues.

Let’s hope it drums up some hype as it seems japan is lost to Nintendo

@Mikey856 Unless they start putting out more Japanese games and maybe offer a handheld of some kind that probably won't change

It's that big to house all the unsold PS5s.

I always wish I was in Japan 💖
But the booth is very impressive. Watching the video gave me old E3 in the late 90s/early 00s vibes.

It looks so cool! Wish I could go.

Lived in Japan since 2001. Have never been to Tokyo Game Show. That was more defensible back when it was aimed solely at the press. But pretty stupid that I've never made it haha.
