Gamescom 2025 is set to unite the global gaming community once again from August 20 to 24. Taking place both in-person in Cologne and online worldwide, this year’s event is expected to draw huge crowds.

With the official ticket shop now open, attendees can lock in their place early. Due to high demand – especially from Thursday to Sunday – early purchases are strongly recommended.

Note: Tickets are available exclusively via the official Gamescom website. There will be no tickets sold on-site, and fans should avoid third-party sellers.
