Berlin Also Bidding to Host DCP 2026
After years of alternating between Berlin and Munich, the Deutscher Computerspielpreis (DCP; German Computer Game Award) is now awarded through an open application process. For 2025, Berlin was the sole applicant. Although Bavaria had already expressed its interest in hosting the event in 2026, Berlin has now confirmed its intention to apply as well.
As the DCP 2025 unfolds, a pressing question emerges: Where will the 2026 awards ceremony take place? Following a long tradition of alternating between Munich and Berlin, the venue selection process was opened to public bidding last year. Berlin was the only applicant for 2025, securing the event. But for 2026, competition is expected – Bavaria’s Digital Minister, Fabian Mehring, had already confirmed last year that the state would submit a bid.
