Riyadh will host one of 2026’s most dynamic gaming and esports gatherings, bringing together creators, players, and industry innovators.
The Global Games Show returns to Riyadh’s Malfa Hall on June 29–30, 2026, delivering a high-energy showcase for the fast-evolving gaming and esports ecosystem. The event brings together developers, publishers, esports organizations, investors, creators, media, and passionate gaming fans for two days of networking, product reveals, and industry insights.
This year’s edition aims to push boundaries and spotlight emerging talent across both traditional gaming and blockchain-enabled experiences. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with leading studios, explore new technologies, and engage in conversations shaping the future of interactive entertainment.
A major highlight is the Startup Zone 2026 – a dedicated platform for early-stage innovators building the next generation of gaming and blockchain products. Founders will pitch their ideas to a panel of industry leaders and the wider Global Games community.
The Global Games Show is organized by VAP Group and powered by Times Of Games.
