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 "Sadly as a single player game it's a little lonely and limited."[5]
