Tokyo Game Show 2023 is here, which means another stacked weekend of gaming news from abroad and also gazing solemnly into my computer screen wishing I was in Japan to walk the halls in person.

Below is the official TGS description of its virtual program setup and the full timetable (in JST time, which is only an hour behind AEST).
“The timetable of TGS 2023 official programs streamed during the event is announced today. During the four-day event, 25 programs will be streamed online, of which 17 are “Official Exhibitor Programs.” As a global event, this year’s TGS virtual programs will be offered in cooperation with overseas platforms and online media, including DouYu (China), bilibili (China), Douyin (China), HUYA (China) and IGN (US)
“You can also access TGS 2023 virtual programs from the TGS Special Page set up on Steam. Although most programs will be streamed in Japanese, non-Japanese speakers can enjoy them with simultaneous English interpretation. Moreover, we are preparing to have simultaneous Chinese interpretation for some programs to reach more international viewers. The latest news on the program details will be revealed on the “Preview Special” streamed at 7PM JST on September 13th.”
