Riyadh, Saudi Arabia—The Global Games Show is from June 29th to 30th, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The exhibition enables developers, gaming pioneers, and gaming innovators to meet one another through mutual interest and experiences. A 360-degree space for any member of the gaming ecosystem (gaming/development/gamers/esports investors, etc.). You have a chance to explore new gaming products, technologies, and interactive games and also meet others who are gaming and mingle with other gaming community members in person.
Organized by VAP Group and powered by the Times of Games, the event will present the latest technologies through AR/VR live demonstrations, immersive experiences in the world of gaming, panels on the evolution of gaming, game publisher and developer trends, and the future of eSports. Visitors get information about new gaming technologies and monetization models, including ways to engage players.
In addition to linking all of the different aspects in the gaming ecosystem, the Global Games Show heavily focuses on networking since many designated networking areas are used for various types of matchmaking to connect developers, game publishers, and game investors. Start-up game developers will have an opportunity to demonstrate their cutting-edge innovations, and established video game developers will showcase how technology is changing storytelling, graphics, and gameplay.
