gamescom 2025 – bigger and more diverse than ever before. 💜
This year's edition of the world's largest gaming festival broke records across the board: more exhibitors, greater international participation and the most expansive exhibition space to date. Once again, the global gaming community came together to celebrate what unites us all – our love for games.
