MSI is shipping the GeForce RTX 5060 8G VENTUS 2X OC V1 in Japan and preparing a September 17 retail launch for the Cyborg 15 C13W gaming notebook, while the Claw 8 Ex AI+ handheld is already on sale in Japan after its July 29 launch. The company is also set to run a booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026 from September 17 to 21.
MSI's recent activity in Japan is all hardware and events. In June, the handheld Claw 8 Ex AI+ was tested against the AYANEO KONKR FIT, which runs AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 470. The Intel Arc G3 Extreme machine showed higher frame rates in multiple benchmarks, particularly with XeSS enabled. The tested unit was a pre-production sample, driver issues blocked testing of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and no release date had been announced at that point.
By July 22, MSI Computer Japan had announced the Claw 8 Ex AI+ for Japan on July 29, following its showing at COMPUTEX 2026 in June. Pricing was not disclosed. The Arc G3 Extreme chip offers higher graphics performance than the AMD SoCs common in portable gaming PCs.
MSI is also filling out its RTX 50 series hardware. On September 11, MSI Computer Japan released the GeForce RTX 5060 8G VENTUS 2X OC V1, a Blackwell card with no RGB lighting and an original dual-fan cooler using the TORX FAN 5.0 design, which links the outer edges of three fan blades for steadier airflow to the heatsink. The warranty on GeForce RTX 50 series cards is two years. A day earlier, MSI Computer Japan set a September 17 retail launch for the Cyborg-15-C13WFO-5899JP from the Cyborg 15 C13W line at open price, pairing a Core i7 CPU with an RTX 5060 Laptop GPU running at up to 70W in a chassis of about 1.98 kg. Ports include Wi-Fi 6E, wired LAN, USB3.2 Gen2 Type-C and HDMI, with USB PD charging supported.
MSI Computer Japan will also run a booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21, at 08-N18 in General Exhibition Hall 8. It will display gaming notebooks, desktops, monitors, PC components, and gaming devices, with stage events, campaigns, and participatory content on the public days.
