This year's Tokyo Game Show saw 243,238 participants visit the event, show organiser CESA has confirmed, which is double the attendance of last year.
The 2022 event saw 138,192 participants visit the usual venue of Makuhari Messe, but the entire space wasn't utilised due to COVID-19 restrictions. In 2019, TGS had 262,076 visitors in attendance.
As there were no restrictions this year, TGS 2023 utilised the entire venue and visitor numbers were substantially higher as a result, with 96,033 people on the first public day compared to 47,236 last year.
