This makes booking a place at the gamescom camp the earliest opportunity for gamers to secure a ticket for gamescom 2026. However, the number of places is limited.

The gamescom camp is only a few minutes away from the gamescom exhibition grounds and not only offers consumers the opportunity to plan their visit to the exhibition and their overnight stay in one go, but has also been a popular meeting place for online communities who want to meet up in real life at gamescom for years.

Companies also use gamescom camp for promotional campaigns, as it allows them to reach a whole camp full of gamers at once. For example, Aldi Gaming set up its headquarters at gamescom camp in 2023 and launched a nationwide advertising campaign there.
