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.
