Today, Sega announced that in celebration of the Olympic Games this summer Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game will release, worldwide, on June 22, via the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox One X/S, and even Google Stadia. At the moment of publishing, there’s no word of the game coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, but it will be playable on all three of these machines, courtesy of backward compatibility.
That said, while we don’t have current-gen versions of the game, we do have a brand new trailer that showcases the game’s gameplay and 18 unique events, all of which can be found in the list below. Meanwhile, Sega has also confirmed the game sports a “robust” Avatar Creator and both local and online play for up to eight players.
