Gamescom is one of the largest computer games trade fairs in the world and takes place every year in Cologne. The event attracts visitors from all over the world and offers a wide range of activities, including game presentations, concerts, cosplay competitions and much more.

Gamescom 2023 will run from 23-27 August, with the opening night taking place on the evening of 22 August. Host Geoff Keighley will welcome the audience and give an overview of the event.

The official pre-sale for Gamescom 2023 already started on 25 April 2023, so tickets can currently be purchased in the online shop. It is important to know, however, that many exhibitors only announce their participation and the games/show programme a few weeks or days before the fair. This is partly because their decisions depend on various factors, such as scheduling and marketing plans for Q3 and Q4 and the availability of playable material for the show.

To make planning easier for you, we have compiled a currently valid list of companies that will definitely be attending Gamescom 2023. The list will be updated here regularly and expanded as more companies confirm their participation.

Gamescom offers visitors the opportunity to try out the latest games, meet other gamers and get in touch with developers and publishers. It is a place for gaming enthusiasts to celebrate their passion for video games and discover exciting new titles. That’s a pretty good way to describe it.
