Tokyo Range Show

The Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is a living room of Video game taking place the every years in September with the Makuhari Messe of Chiba not far from Tokyo, since 1996. It is organized by the Computer Entertainment Supplier' S Association (CEASED).

The first day of the living room, one Friday, is always reserved to the professionals of the sector whereas the two following days are opened with the public.

Formerly, this living room was biannual. The session of spring was stopped by a lack of participation due to the costs of exhibitions in constant increase and to the fact that it is too close to the living room of the E3.
