Launched in 2010 by SELL to give the French video game industry its own major event, Paris Games Week has quickly established itself as one of the world’s three largest trade fairs in the sector. Originally created to rival the Micromania Game Show, it moved to the Paris Expo venue at Porte de Versailles and experienced rapid growth, rising from 120,000 visitors to over 300,000 in just a few editions. Over the years, the event has broadened its horizons, incorporating a Junior zone, the Made in France pavilion, and then giving a prominent place to esports and cosplay. Following a hiatus due to the health crisis, the event has embarked on a major transformation towards a more hybrid ‘festival’ format. This turning point came to fruition in 2025 with the handover from the long-standing organiser Comexposium to a consortium comprising GL events and Fimalac Entertainment. This new era aims to merge gaming, live entertainment and pop culture to transform the visitor experience.
