Push Square reported that organisers canceled Monday’s events at the Tokyo Game Show after a typhoon warning in Japan curtailed the planned five-day schedule. The edition had been scheduled as the longest-ever TGS, running five days instead of the usual four, but organisers decided to cancel Monday and said some Sunday activities may still be canceled depending on weather. Push Square reports organisers cited concerns about potential disruptions to public transportation and said the choice prioritised the safety of attendees, exhibitors, and staff. The announcement also referenced ticket refunds, though Push Square’s report did not provide details on refund handling.
