gamescom LAN
Venture
For gamers worldwide, the Cologne fairgrounds are like Wimbledon’s grass courts for tennis fans — hallowed ground. Since 2009, gaming enthusiasts from around the globe have flocked to the city on the Rhine for a first look at the latest titles and to meet fellow fans. And since 2023, they’ve also been coming in spring to rock out at the gamescom LAN for three epic days.
Together with our partners, we’ve developed a unique LAN format: participants don’t just sit among anonymous rows of tables; they’re set up screen-to-screen with big-name creators from the German scene. Meanwhile, these creators do what they do best: produce awesome content live from the LAN. In 2023 alone, that meant over 830 hours of livestreams. The gamescom LAN has rightfully claimed its spot alongside the renowned convention and is now an unmissable event.
