news culture Paris Games Week is back: everything you need to know about the biggest French video game event
After a big comeback last year, Paris Games Week wants to work twice as hard this year. And yes, the organizers think big and we explain how!
Paris Games Week Next Level is great
As we know, the pandemic has profoundly turned the world of video game trade shows upside down. Online variant or simple cancellation, everyone had to organize themselves in their own way. And with Paris Games Week in mind, we chose the second option. So last year’s edition was the big comeback. And to play proactively, teams have chosen to do so in a “small committee.” While last year’s edition brought together 150,000 visitors, the event was still on a smaller scale with a single exhibition hall. Did that frustrate you? Well, we have good news for you!
From November 1-5, 2023, Paris Games Week returns and takes it to the next level. Hear through it that she will resume her rest and lie down the three halls of the Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles. And who says more space, says more booths. And if it’s still too early to know the exact program of this new edition of Paris Games Week, the organizers still wanted to tease us a little.

What is the program?
This year we are promised a “ambitious programming”. The Paris Games Week actually wants to assert itself as such “the benchmark event for the sector in France and a significant asset for the national, European and global video game industry”. If the big publishers and manufacturers are present, the event is also planned for guests “the final of e-sports tournaments and competitions at European and international level”only that. Many French influencers will also be present, “preferably” according to the organizers. Among them we find the Streamer Came toGuest of honor at the event. Surprisingly, the show intends to give more prominence to cosplay to encourage the practice. Of course we also find the PGW Junior and Retrogaming section. That’s all we know at the moment.
Would you like to know the full program of the event? You must have patience for this. Enjoy your holidays in peace and until the start of the school year. In fact, the organizers will lift the veil on it in September. It is certain that ticket sales will also start at this time.
