The 2026 Taipei Game Show (TGS) is set to open on 1/29 at the Nangang Exhibition Center! Nintendo, the Japanese home console giant and a participant for four consecutive years, is one of the most anticipated highlights this year. Their new console, the Nintendo Switch 2 (NS2), has stirred up excitement and driven sales on PChome 24h Shopping, thanks to its high buzz and upgraded experience. With new titles like Pokémon Pokopia and Monster Hunter Stories 3: The Dual Dragons of Fate launching sequentially, a hardware upgrade wave has been successfully spurred, leading to a 530% surge in Nintendo console sales compared to the same period last year. PS series games are also a major attraction. PChome 24h Shopping notes that pre-orders for multiple blockbusters like Nioh 3 and Resident Evil 9: Requiem opened consecutively starting in the first quarter. The game categories span action-adventure, fighting, and survival horror, reflecting the diversity of the gaming market in the first half of the year, accurately catering to the preferences of different player demographics. Furthermore, Windows gaming handhelds have become a highly watched entertainment choice this winter break, as they eliminate spatial limitations, allowing players to experience PC 3A masterpieces and the Steam game library anytime, effectively filling fragmented time, with gaming handheld sales increasing by 206% year-over-year.

Key New Titles Drive Upgrade Wave Nintendo Console Sales Surge 530% Year-over-Year

At the same time, the cross-platform release of the local Taiwanese game Incantation has also attracted market attention. The PlayStation lineup is led by My Hero Academia: Endless Justice, Nioh 3, and Yakuza Kiwami 3 / Yakuza 3 Side Story: Dark Ties, which sparked initial buying interest.

Blockbuster Games and High-End Consoles Boost Gaming Handhelds and Peripherals
This year’s TGS partners with multiple official hardware partners, and the scale of the Indie House independent game zone has hit a new high. The release of multiple stylish masterpieces in recent years and the player demand for “portable play” have driven a 206% surge in gaming handheld sales on the platform compared to the same period last year. In response to this handheld trend, the benchmark Windows handheld, the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X Gaming Handheld, is highly recommended. It features the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 8-core processor, offering excellent compatibility and ergonomic design, allowing for smooth portable play of 3A blockbusters and comfortable extended gaming sessions. Another highlight is the MSI Claw 8 AI+ Gaming Handheld, equipped with an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 258V processor and a new NPU, featuring an 8-inch 120Hz gaming panel for an excellent visual experience. Purchases come with a gift package including a Dock, 100W charger, carrying case, and protective film. These high-performance models perfectly fill fragmented time, allowing players to carry their massive Steam game library with them, whether lounging on the sofa or returning home for the holidays, making it this winter break’s most anticipated entertainment gadget. In terms of peripherals, the platform heavily promotes the ROG Azoth 96 HE 96% Hot-Swappable Tri-Mode Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboard, priced at NT$10,690, with a limited-quantity gift of a ROG XXL mouse pad.
