A component supplier paying for floor space at Tokyo Game Show to let players feel load times is a sign that SSD speed is now marketed to gamers as a tournament-grade spec rather than a spec-sheet number.

Kioxia exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2026 at Makuhari Messe from September 17 to 21, the memory maker's first booth at such a gaming event. The booth centers on hands-on play with PCs built to the same configuration used in the esports competition at the 20th Asian Games, made with Mouse Computer's G TUNES brand and fitted with the EXCERIA PRO G2 SSD. Visitors can play Street Fighter 6. New colors for the EXCERIA PLUS G2 Portable SSD are on reference display ahead of a planned launch.
The booth is built around a single pitch: play Street Fighter 6 on hardware close to what tournament players use. Kioxia says the machines match the configuration used in the esports competition at the 20th Asian Games, which it lists as the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya games.
The PCs come out of a collaboration with Mouse Computer's gaming brand G TUNES and carry the EXCERIA PRO G2 SSD, which Kioxia describes as the official gaming SSD for esports. Alongside that, the display area shows the consumer SSD lineup and the first color variations for the EXCERIA PLUS G2 Portable SSD, put out as reference samples ahead of their planned addition. A gacha-pon collaboration with Mouse Computer runs at the booth, with talk events on the public days.
