No Hidden Costs
No surprises. You focus on your game.
You can apply for more than one type of booth.
How It Works
The Process
From application to the show floor. Four simple steps.
Selection is based not only on the quality of the game but also on creating a diverse lineup across genres, art styles, countries, features and development stages. We also take into account the expected release window and which teams might benefit the most from participating.
Since we receive more applications than we have booth space available, not being selected does not mean your game lacks quality.
