We are excited to share that Games Ground is returning for its third edition in 2025 – bigger and better than ever!
After a successful 2024 event with 4,500 visitors, the festival is expanding to four days of gaming, networking, and industry insights, taking place from November 13th to 16th at Alte Münze, Berlin.
Key highlights of Games Ground 2025 include an upgraded Business Days program (Nov 13-14), featuring curated talks, hands-on workshops, and top-tier networking opportunities.
With initiatives like Publisher Connect, Mentor Ground, and Career Ground, we’re enhancing matchmaking, mentorship, and career-building opportunities, while also introducing specialized summits and welcoming major industry speakers.
The Indie Showcase & Awards is also leveling up, offering a Streaming Booth, a dedicated Steam Sales Event, Pitch Competitions, and an exciting Indie Awards ceremony to celebrate outstanding indie developers.
In addition, Games Ground is expanding its global reach through a new international partnership with London Games Festival 2025, where two selected indie studios will represent Berlin’s vibrant gaming scene as part of New Game Plus.
Finally, the Public Days (Nov 14-16) are growing into an even bigger festival experience, featuring esports tournaments, the GG Cosplay Contest, indie game showcases, influencer content, live music, and a significantly expanded exhibition area, including XR experiences, retro gaming, tabletop zones, a LAN area, and much more.
