Microsoft has confirmed it will not have a presence at Tokyo Game Show this year, instead opting for its own event in October.

Xbox made the confirmation with Game_Watch, saying it will bypass TGS for the second year in a row.

Instead, Microsoft will host Xbox Dai Kansha-sai (or “Xbox Big Thanksgiving”) in October.

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
