Gamescom 2026 - Situation Room

All the information about the biggest gaming expo: all the news, all the trailers, and all the games - in one place!

After months packed with announcements and amazing games, it's time for the traditional Gamescom expo which will give us a chance to try out some of the games that were announced. This is the fifth year in a row that we're covering Gamescom from Germany to bring you all the news and biggest games along with developer interviews and everything you need to know. We're bringing together all the information in our situation room, opening for the second time this summer to provide a single place where you can find summaries of all the hottest events and the most interesting news about the biggest games - all in one convenient place!

The opening and main event of Gamescom is the Opening Night Live hosted by Geoff Keighley, which brings together dozens of different companies. Alongside the main event, there are several other events from other companies worth keeping an eye on. Some of the events will be streamed as usual, and right after each press conference, a full summary will go up here on the site, so if you didn't get a chance to join the rest of the world and hear the hot news, don't worry - all the information will be waiting for you on the site.

As I mentioned earlier, the situation room will be available here on the site at all times and you can stay updated through our Facebook page and through our Instagram page for all the news from Gamescom 2026! Below is the event schedule with the important press conferences:
