The three key topics at gamescom congress 2025 are immersion, responsibility, and well-being. Viola Tensil has been announced as the first moderator.

How far can games extend beyond pure entertainment to become a driving force for innovation, social progress, and well-being? This is one of the key topics to be discussed at gamescom congress 2025, which will take place on 21 August 2025 in Cologne during gamescom week, as always. This year's edition will focus on three major topics: "The Next Level of Immersion", "Gaming and Responsibility" and "Gaming and Well-Being". Viola Tensil will guide participants through the congress programme.

In addition to these three themes, gamescom congress 2025 will address broader questions such as: How will games influence the future of education, science, and cultural policy in Europe? What economic spillover effects are gaming technologies having on traditional industries such as health, fashion, and space travel? The programme and speakers will be announced soon.
