By Mulder, 25 april 2024

Paris Games Week 2024, to be held from October 23 to 27 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, is ready to welcome a myriad of new features and attractions for video game fans. After the great success of the 2023 edition, when the event attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors, this next edition seeks to capitalize on this momentum with an even richer and more varied offering.

In 2023, PGW saw the participation of big names such as Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation, ensuring a first-rate presentation of the latest releases and developments in the world of video games. Renowned publishers such as Square Enix, Bethesda, and Focus Entertainment were also on hand, enriching the experience with glimpses of their latest creations. For 2024, these participants are again expected, with probably even more new players from the video game industry.

The 2024 edition promises a significant expansion of activities. The eSport competitions, already a mainstay of the event, will be accompanied by zones dedicated to immersive and interactive experiences. Visitors can expect to discover the latest video game innovations, including VR game demos and exclusive previews. In addition, the event will continue to promote an inclusive experience with accommodations for people with disabilities, affirming its commitment to accessibility for all.

The organizers have also put the emphasis on cultural and artistic spaces. A cosplay village, art galleries dedicated to pop culture, and exhibition areas for Made in France games will showcase French creativity. For the youngest attendees, PGW Junior will be offering adapted activities, ensuring that the event offers something for every member of the family.

With attendance rising steadily since its first edition in 2010, when it attracted 120,000 visitors, PGW has regularly broken its attendance records, demonstrating its growing popularity and importance in the video game industry. Anticipating over 300,000 attendees in 2024, organizers are planning even larger and more diverse facilities to comfortably accommodate all visitors.

For those planning to visit Paris Games Week 2024, it's advisable to book tickets in advance, especially given the expected influx. Tickets vary, offering free entry for under-7s, as well as reduced rates for other categories, ensuring that the event remains accessible to a wide audience.

In conclusion, Paris Games Week 2024 promises not only to be a flagship event for gamers, but also a celebration of global popular culture, with activities and innovations that promise to enrich the experience of every attendee. For detailed information and to plan your visit, the official website offers all the resources you need to maximize your experience at this must-see event.
