TOKYO GAME SHOW 2018 (Organizer: Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association [Abbreviation: CESA, Chairman: Hideki Hayakawa], Co-Organizer: Nikkei BP [President: Suguru Niinomi], Period: September 20 to 23, Venue: Makuhari Messe / hereafter “TGS2018”) would like to hereby notify the number of exhibiting companies and organizations as of July 3rd and provide information of ticket sales for this year’s show.

As of July 3rd, the number of exhibiting companies is 366 and the number of booths is 2166]. This is much higher than the 331 companies at the same time last year, where a total of 609 companies and organizations participated. The number of booths has already been beyond the past highest one of 2009 booths in 2015. Eventually it is expected to hit the highest of more than 2200 booths. One of the reasons for the fact is the rising number of big offerings for smartphone games. As a result, the number of stands for general exhibition and smartphone games is up more than 20% from the previous year. As of this moment, exhibitors from 30 countries and regions from around the world will be participating, and this number is expected to increase.
