This year's Paris Games Week 2025 is part of a dynamic evolution. Its organizer, Nicolas Vignolles, expressed his ambition to rethink the show's model via France Info, even evoking an edition that could extend to different emblematic Parisian venues, in the image of the Olympic Games. Although this vision remains hypothetical for 2025, it testifies to a strong desire to renew the concept and attract an ever-wider audience.
While we await final announcements on the format, the program for this not-to-be-missed show promises total immersion in the world of video games. As at every edition, you'll be able to discover exclusive previews, test the latest immersive technologies and exchange ideas with the industry's major players. Virtual reality demonstrations, games based on artificial intelligence and connected equipment are among the innovations to watch out for.
The e-sport competitions remain one of the highlights of the event. These spectacular tournaments bring together professionals and amateurs in an electrifying atmosphere, where each game is followed with passion by the spectators. The show is a showcase for e-sport, attracting talent from all over the world.
Paris Games Week also showcases the creative wealth of independent developers. Their presence allows us to discover original and innovative projects, often setting new trends in the industry. These encounters offer a rare opportunity to talk with creators who are shaping the future of video games with boldness and imagination.
A special effort has been made to include all audiences, from enthusiasts to families. Zones dedicated to the youngest visitors will offer a fun and educational introduction to video games, while workshops and presentations will be organized for technology enthusiasts.
However, one of the challenges for 2025 is to restore Paris Games Week to its pre-pandemic status. Attendance figures have plummeted in recent years, from 317,000 visitors in 2019 to 188,000 in 2024. With a possibly revamped model, the event hopes to recapture larger audiences and consolidate its place as a key meeting place for digital culture in France.
Whatever the final configuration, Paris Games Week 2025 represents a unique opportunity to explore the world of video games in all its diversity. One thing's for sure: Paris is once again set to vibrate to the rhythm of digital creativity and technological innovation.
As you can see, Paris Games Week is an event packed with activities you won't want to miss, whether at Paris Expo or elsewhere! There's no doubt that this event has plenty of videogame surprises in store. Stay tuned for the full program.
