The attendance at this year's Tokyo Game Show was roughly half of that at the 2019 show, the last physical TGS before the COVID-19 pandemic.
have been announced, revealing the turnout to be around half of what the event was getting before the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Monday the show’s organiser, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association, reported a total attendance of 138,192 visitors., that’s a little over half the 262,076 visitors that attended the Tokyo Game Show in 2019, before the arrival of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The significant drop in visitors will have been partly due to restrictions around younger visitors, as well as Japan’s continued restrictions regarding foreign tourists.TGS 2022 was held for four days from Thursday, September 15 to Sunday, September 18, at its traditional venue of the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City, with business and general visitors able to attend.
A limited number of tickets were sold in line with local government policies on Covid-19. However, elementary school students and younger children were barred from TGS this year “due to uncertainties of vaccination situations among young people”. This, along with Japan’s continued COVID travel restrictions – the country is still not yet fully open to overseas visitors – have likely had an impact on the 2022 show’s attendance numbers.
