One of the stages will be dedicated entirely to esports. Among other things, a show match of the DACH CS Masters (GSA CS Masters) in Counter-Strike 2 will take place there during the two days of the fair on 23 and 24 May in Salzburg. The ESSl Champions Cup is also planned, and Austria's best 2XKO duo will be sought in the Red Bull Duo Clash.

The second stage will be the Rauffeisen Club Community Stage, where a varied programme is planned for the gaming community. Last but not least, the Cosplay Stage will be the venue for various contests, including several cosplay competitions as well as contests in dance, speed drawing and AMV/GMV. 

In 2025, Level Up Salzburg attracted over 11,000 visitors and occupied more than 15,000 square metres of the Salzburg exhibition centre with a mix of games, cosplay and esports.
