Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game is a sports video game developed and published by Sega. The game was originally released in Japan for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on July 24, 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the start of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the game was not released outside of Japan and East Asia until June 2021, when it also released for Windows, Stadia, and Xbox One. The game features 80 national teams and 18 events.
Yuke's provided developmental assistance. The game is the penultimate Olympic video game to be released by Sega, as Sega's license to produce games based on the Olympic Games was discontinued after the release of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 due to the International Olympic Committee pivoting to mobile games produced by nWay for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Reception

The Switch version received 80% from Digitally Downloaded, who said that "one of the areas that Tokyo 2020 immediately stands out is that it has a good range of different sports represented, and they all play differently." They went on to praise the presentation and the customisation, adding that "as a single player game it's a little lonely and limited."
