Sony Interactive Entertainment will hold PlayStation Festival on October 24 at Grand Front Osaka North Building 1F Knowledge Plaza, running from 11:00 to 19:00. Attendees can play PS5 titles that appeared at the PlayStation booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026 in September. Advance trial reservations opened October 2 for PlayStation Plus subscribers and close October 21 at 23:59, handled first-come, first-served through the event's special site. The reservable titles are Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance from Capcom, Final Fantasy VII Revelation from Square Enix, ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE from Bandai Namco Entertainment, and GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT from Bandai Namco Entertainment. The day also includes a PLAY! PLAY! PLAY! special stream, sales of PlayStation goods with limited-quantity Astro Bot items, hands-on time with the PlayStation Portal Remote Player, and novelty giveaways tied to trying a game, posting at the venue, or adding the official PlayStation LINE account.
The reservation window is narrower than the event: applications run from October 2 until October 21 at 23:59, and only PlayStation Plus subscribers can book in advance. Each novelty item is handed out randomly, one per person, with patterns not selectable and supplies ending when they run out.
The merchandise list includes the PlayStation Icons Light, ASTRO BOT Coin Buddies, and Dokodemo Issho monitor plushies for Toro and Jin. Three separate giveaways are keyed to different actions: an original PVC mini pouch for trying a title, a special acrylic keychain for posting on social media at the venue, and an original denim carabiner for adding the official PlayStation LINE account through the QR code on site. Those who added the account earlier can join by checking in with that QR code inside the venue. The venue is the North Building's Knowledge Plaza on the first floor.
