PR TIMES

Marking its second consecutive year at the show, PayPal noted that last year's Tokyo Game Show 2025 confirmed high interest in global expansion, web-based payment integration, and advanced checkout solutions.
Building upon this strong reception, this year's exhibit will highlight shifting gaming market dynamics, payment solutions fueling publisher growth, and domestic and global implementation case studies.

In today's gaming market, efforts to capture international players are accelerating.
Meanwhile, with the rise of subscription models and live-service titles, the need to accommodate diverse payment methods and frequent microtransactions is more critical than ever.
As a payment partner offering a global infrastructure, flexible checkout options, and sophisticated fraud prevention to support international monetization, PayPal continues to deepen its collaboration with the gaming industry.

In addition to credit and debit cards, PayPal connects with bank transfer services across more than 350 banks in Japan, providing gamers with broad payment flexibility and a seamless checkout experience.
Gamers can complete transactions securely and swiftly without sharing card numbers or bank details with merchants, eliminating the need to re-enter information at checkout.
Globally, over 100,000 gaming merchants leverage PayPal to sell games and digital goods, while more than 33 million consumers utilize PayPal within the gaming category (based on internal PayPal data from July 2024 through June 2025).
