How we will use your answers
We do not simply want to follow our own plan at gamescom. Our community should help decide where we take a closer look, which games we test and which questions we take to Cologne.
Once the survey has closed, we will evaluate all responses and turn them into a concrete priority list. In general, the more frequently a company, game or topic is mentioned, the higher it will be placed on our list.
02
We set our priorities
Your answers create our editorial ranking for meetings, presentations, game tests and background discussions.
03
We take you with us
During the event, we will share results, news, impressions and behind-the-scenes insights with you.
We cannot guarantee every request
We are naturally limited by which companies are actually attending gamescom, which exhibitors are offering meetings and which contacts have time available during the event.
What this means in practice
We cannot guarantee a personal meeting with every company that receives a large number of votes.
Some developers, publishers and brands already suggested in the open text fields are unfortunately not exhibiting at gamescom this year or will not be attending. We will not be able to fulfil those requests directly at the event.
You are still welcome to enter any company or game you are interested in. We will check who is actually attending and which opportunities are available. Interesting contacts and spontaneous meetings can also arise during the event.
Who is exhibiting in 2026?
You can search the official exhibitor directory for companies, brands, products and exhibition halls.
Follow our Facebook and Instagram Stories
During gamescom, our Facebook and Instagram Stories will show our daily plans, impressions from the halls, spontaneous discoveries, quick updates from meetings and behind-the-scenes insights into our work.
We may also publish short-notice polls there. This means you can continue to influence our coverage during the event, decide which game deserves a closer look or submit a question before an upcoming meeting.
