Games Ground Berlin
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Games Ground
The 2025 edition marked the breakthrough of Games Ground as a European industry festival. With 6,500+ visitors, the format doubled its reach compared to the 2024 premiere, and with 127 exhibitors and 65 publishers/investors, the industry component developed into a serious career and distribution event.
In terms of content, the structure remained stable: two B2B days (Thursday/Friday) with conferences, mentoring, and matchmaking, and two public days (Saturday/Sunday) with cosplay, esports, live music, XR experiences, retrogaming, and an indie showcase. The Alte Münze as a venue proved to be the optimal Berlin location – an industrial monument with a festival atmosphere.
