[TGS2026] Experience “THE OTHER REAL” at the “GALLERIA” booth: esports-style high-performance PC trials, AI creativity, and new products!

"GALLERIA," Third Wave's high-performance PC brand, will be exhibiting at the Tokyo Game Show 2026 for the fifth consecutive year.At the GALLERIA booth in Exhibition Hall 2, visitors can enjoy a wide range of high-performance PC experiences all at once, including a competitive environment reminiscent of esports tournaments, hands-on gaming sessions with GALLERIA laptops, an image-generation experience utilizing local AI, and a display of the “REJECT” collaboration models.

We took a look at GALLERIA’s current direction—expanding its applications from gaming to entertainment, content creation, and AI—through hands-on demos and interactive exhibits.

Experience “Apex Legends” on a tournament-style gaming station

The most eye-catching feature at the booth is the “Competition Corner,” designed to resemble the competition stations used in esports tournaments.

During stage events, this area—which also features appearances by special guests—showcases a system customized with an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU based on the TGS 2026 commemorative model. Along with a unified device setup featuring BenQ and Logitech gear,allowing visitors to experience the competitive environment GALLERIA provides to support the esports scene.

The base model, the “GALLERIA XDR7A-R58-GD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-Equipped TGS 2026 Commemorative Model,” is equipped with a GeForce RTX 5080 16GB, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB Gen4 SSD.Dospara is selling the base configuration for 529,980 yen, and during the promotional period through Friday, September 25, 2026, a customization option is available to upgrade to the Ryzen 7 9850X3D for an additional 50 yen (total: 530,030 yen).

“Apex Legends” is available for hands-on play, allowing you to experience a fresh gaming session on a high-performance PC—a change from your familiar home PC gaming setup. The mouse controls, your posture while seated in the chair, and the distance from the display are all different from how you usually play games, letting you savor a thrilling yet pleasant sense of tension.

Find Your Perfect Match Through Laptop Demos and Collaborative Exhibits

At the “Game Demo Corner,” you can play the latest hit titles using GALLERIA laptops! GALLERIA, which offers a wide variety of high-performance PCs, naturally includes laptops in its lineup.

High-performance models are on display here for you to try out. This is the perfect opportunity to check out elements that are hard to judge from spec sheets alone, such as screen size, keyboard feel, and how the laptop looks when set up!

Nearby, you’ll also find the “Collaboration Model Exhibition Corner.” In the collaboration area with the professional esports team “REJECT,” we’re showcasing the REJECT collaboration model and the Tenki Pururu model.GALLERIA will maintain a permanent REJECT collaboration corner throughout the event, and a “REJECT × GALLERIA Special Stage” is scheduled for the final day, Monday, September 21 (a national holiday).

“AI COLLAB STUDIO”: Create “Your Very Own PC” from a Photo

The main attraction of the Technology and AI Exhibition Corner is the “AI COLLAB STUDIO,” which utilizes local AI. The system takes photos of visitors, processes them using AI, and then generates original images of GALLERIA collaboration model PCs featuring those visuals. Visitors can download the finished images to take home a memento of their experience at the venue.

The generation process is handled by local AI, and a key feature is that the captured images and generated data are not used for training or reused.At the venue, the “GALLERIA SMTRE-R59-GL Threadripper 9980X Model”—equipped with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9980X and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090—will be used, and CPU/GPU usage as well as memory/VRAM usage will be displayed in real time.

While GALLERIA is known as a high-performance gaming PC brand, this section offers visitors a chance to experience PCs as a gateway to AI-driven expression and creativity. Rather than simply understanding “what AI can do” through explanations alone, being able to closely observe the entire production process promises to be a valuable experience.

New compact products are also on display!

Behind the technology and AI exhibition area, there is also a space set up for new products.The “EPC71-R57T-B,” equipped with a Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (16GB) GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, has been on sale since Thursday, September 17.The standard retail price is 444,980 yen (tax included). Stay tuned for further updates as we look forward to the release of more new high-performance PCs!

There are also giveaways for attendees and an online campaign!

During the three days of the Tokyo Game Show 2026’s public days—from Saturday, September 19, through Monday, September 21 (a national holiday)—the GALLERIA booth will be giving away special GALLERIA pin badges to visitors who complete their “Dospara” membership registration and fill out a survey.Furthermore, if you win the on-the-spot raffle, you’ll also receive a GALLERIA neck towel.

You can also earn these giveaways by taking photos of GALLERIA gaming PCs on display at other booths within the venue, tagging them with the designated hashtag, and posting them on social media. Please note that the neck towels will be awarded via a random drawing.

We also plan to conduct an online survey for those who cannot attend the event in person. Dospara Points will be awarded via a random drawing among respondents, so be sure to check it out along with the stage livestream!

What becomes clear from this exhibition is that while GALLERIA maintains its core focus on “PCs for comfortable gaming,” it is expanding its scope into esports, streaming, video and image production, and AI applications. Immerse yourself in gameplay at the esports stations, try out games that catch your eye on a laptop, or use AI to envision your very own custom PC.The GALLERIA booth served as a “place where you can discover reasons to use high-performance PCs based on your own interests.”

If you’re visiting the Tokyo Game Show 2026 during the public days, we recommend not just viewing the exhibits, but actually sitting down, playing, and trying out the AI-generated content. Why not come to the venue and experience for yourself how gaming performance can lead to your next gaming session or creative project?
