Don't Miss PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct: Watch Live Now

PC Gamer is taking its showcase on the road for the first time in Japan, lining it up with Tokyo Game Show. It is called the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, and yes, it is exactly what it sounds like: a PC-focused peek at what is happening around TGS, with a bunch of new trailers, updates, and some very specific deep cuts.

When and how to watch

• When: Saturday, September 28 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST (or 1am JST on Sunday, September 29 if you are in Japan and feeling brave)
• Hosts: Elle Osili-Wood and Midas from PC Gamer
• Where: PC Gamer’s channels on YouTube, Twitch, X, and Facebook; plus Steam, Bilibili, and even a stream on GamesRadar+
• Co-streams: CohhCarnage and MissMikkaa are running official co-streams if you prefer hanging out in their chats

What to expect

This one is pitched as a ground-level look at how PC gaming actually shows up at Tokyo Game Show, and how PC development is growing in Japan. They are saying more than 30 games will get screen time, with a publisher lineup that includes Devolver Digital, Annapurna Interactive, and Ubisoft. So, a real mix of indie oddities and bigger players.

The headline teases are a little inside baseball in a fun way. There is an interview with the devs of Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 — yes, they specifically say Dawn of War 4, which is the kind of name-drop that makes your eyebrows go up. We are also getting fresh updates on Killing Floor 3, a new trailer for the stylish hack-and-slash roguelike Morbid Metal, and a trailer reveal from Japanese studio Takibi Games in partnership with strategy publisher Hooded Horse. That last pairing is interesting on its own, given Hooded Horse’s recent run of well-liked strategy hits.

Bottom line: if you want a concentrated hit of PC news out of Tokyo — with a few potentially spicy reveals — this is the stream to park on.
