The figure is 5,459 fewer than the 263,101 who attended the 2025 edition. Organizers had planned a five-day event from September 17 to 21, but canceled the final day because of Typhoon No. 25, so the total covers only the four days through September 20. The first business day, September 17, drew 53,630 visitors, up 1,278 from 52,352 a year earlier. September 18 drew 52,545, down 2,234 from 54,779. The first public day, September 19, drew 78,678, up 1,263 from 77,415. September 20 drew 72,789, down 5,766 from 78,555. Next year's Tokyo Game Show is scheduled to run five days, from September 16 to 20, 2027, at Makuhari Messe.","whyItMatters":"The organizers already have a five-day slot booked for 2027 at the same venue, so the typhoon-shortened 2026 edition functions as the baseline their next attendance target will be measured against.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe day-by-day numbers show where the shortfall landed. September 17 and September 19 each finished slightly ahead of the same days in 2025, while September 18 and the closing public day came in lower. The lost Monday, September 21, was one of the two public days. The event was initially scheduled as a five-day run from September 17 to 21, and Typhoon No. 25 forced the cancellation of the final day.
