Paris Games Week 2026 at Porte de Versailles, Paris

Paris Games Week 2026 opens its doors at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles under the banner Playground Edition, a special instalment marking the show's fifteenth anniversary. Organisers have reworked the floor plan and lined up a fresh programme packed with playable demos, tournaments, cosplay and live performances. Over four days the venue in the 15th arrondissement becomes one of Europe's main hubs for interactive entertainment. Big-budget releases share space with indie studios and a dedicated jobs and careers area for people looking to break into the industry. New for this year are the PGW Nights, three evening showcases at the Dôme de Paris, plus PGW Business by CMS, a day tailored to trade visitors. The mix appeals both to families dropping by for the weekend and to developers and publishers doing business. For accommodation, hotels in the 14th and 15th arrondissements or near the M12 Porte de Versailles stop put you within walking distance of the halls. Rooms in that area sell out quickly for these dates, so it pays to book early.
