Future, the publisher behind PC Gamer, is bringing three shows to Gamescom 2025 in Cologne this August. Two air on August 26 — Future Games Show at Gamescom and FGS Live From Gamescom — with a third, FGS Best Of Gamescom, closing things out on August 30 when the convention wraps.
The main August 26 show promises world premieres, exclusive trailers, developer deep dives, and hands-on game demos from studios across the industry. FGS Live follows immediately after with more trailers, news, and developer interviews. The Best Of show on the final day takes a different angle — exclusive booth tours, developer interviews, and a highlight reel of Gamescom's biggest announcements across the week.
Gamescom is one of the largest gaming trade shows in the world, held every August in Cologne, Germany. It's also home to Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live, which this year airs on August 25 — the night before Future's first two shows. Past Future Games Show editions have spotlighted titles like Resident Evil Requiem, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Blue Prince, so the showcase has a track record of surfacing notable games.
Separately, Future also confirmed that the PC Gaming Show is heading back to Japan — PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct is set for September 20, running alongside Tokyo Game Show.
