Sony Interactive Entertainment will open advance trial reservations for PlayStation Plus subscribers on September 10, ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21. Reservations, first-come and running until September 16 at 23:59, cover public days only and include Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, Marvel's Wolverine, and ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE. The PlayStation booth also hosts a Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look theater, screening the new trailer on a 300-inch screen, with floor haptics that vibrate in sync with the video and sound. Theater visitors get a Grand Theft Auto VI PlayStation T-shirt. Business days run September 17 and 18, 10:00 to 17:00. Public days are September 19 and 20, 9:30 to 17:00, and September 21, 9:30 to 16:00. The venue is Makuhari Messe, with the TKP Tokyo Bay Makuhari Hall also listed.
The trial lineup is a four-title spread across genres: Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, Marvel's Wolverine, and ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE. Walk-up play is not what Sony is offering here. Slots are booked through the TGS special site, and the advance window shuts at 23:59 on September 16, the same day business days begin.
The theater side runs on presentation rather than play. Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look screens on a 300-inch display, with floor haptics that vibrate in time with the video and audio. Sony describes the effect as placing viewers inside the footage. Attendees leave with a Grand Theft Auto VI PlayStation T-shirt. Grand Theft Auto VI itself is set for release on November 19, per the booth announcement.
Business days are September 17 and 18, 10:00 to 17:00. Public days are September 19 and 20, 9:30 to 17:00, and September 21, 9:30 to 16:00. The show runs at Makuhari Messe, with TKP Tokyo Bay Makuhari Hall named as an additional venue.
