The latest video games and related products are on display at the Tokyo Game Show. This year's event also features offerings from some non-traditional companies looking to get into the eSports game.

The show is being held at the Makuhari Messe convention center near Tokyo. The event is taking up the entire venue for the first time since the start of the pandemic. A record 787 companies and organizations are participating.

Some unexpected exhibitors are showing off their wares, as they try to cash in on the booming eSports industry.

Furniture-maker Nitori is displaying a bedroom for gamers. It features a specialty chair and desk, as well as a matching bed.

"Furniture-makers and other companies that traditionally have nothing to do with gaming are showing off their products," said Tsujimoto Haruhiro, chairman of the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association. "This is a sign the industry is growing and that our image is changing."

The Tokyo Game Show will be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday.

In the eSports exhibition area, visitors can experience car-racing.

A record number of exhibitors include those from outside the video game industry thanks to the fast-growing eSports, the world of competitive gaming.
