This weekend, from 24th to 26th October, Poznań will once again become the capital of Polish gaming. The largest gaming fair in this part of Europe, Poznań Game Arena 2025, is kicking off. While we usually test televisions, we know perfectly well that for many of you, the world of gaming is a priority. This year's edition of PGA promises to be the perfect testing ground for the latest screens – and more. The organisers have focused on immense diversity this year, but a few program points stand out more than others.
Gothic 1 Remake – this is a must-see
For thousands of Polish gamers, this will probably be the most important moment of the entire expo. On the main stage, Gothic 1 Remake will be presented! It's one of the most anticipated games in Poland, and every new piece of information about the return to the Penal Colony electrifies fans. The opportunity to see the game in action, perhaps learning new details from the developers, is an absolute "must-see" at this year’s event.
Surprise: Gaming enters the automotive world
The second big surprise is the presence of a new Chinese car brand Omoda. The company is set to showcase its idea of integrating the gaming world... with its cars. We don’t yet know whether it involves an advanced infotainment system, cloud gaming while parked, or something completely different, but we are incredibly curious about how this will be resolved. It demonstrates how deeply virtual entertainment is already permeating every area of our lives.
Enormous diversity, or the essence of PGA
This year's PGA is not just about these two highlights. The fair, as every year, will offer a gigantic range of attractions, confirming its position as a leader in the region. Participants can look forward to:
Game and equipment premieres: It's the perfect opportunity to see premiere and pre-premiere showcases, play the latest productions (particularly from the impressive international indie zone), and test the newest gaming equipment. There will be over 1000 gaming stations at the fairgrounds.
eSports excitement: Guests can expect fierce battles as part of m.in. The Polish Esports League. Tournaments will be held in such hits as Counter Strike, Tekken, and even... Deluxe Ski Jump.
Meetings and Cosplay: The fair is, of course, about the people. Favourite streamers and YouTubers will appear at the PGA, with the highlight being the Sunday PGA Cosplay Show competition on the Main Stage.
Return to the roots: For fans of older titles, there will be an extensive Retro Zone where you can play classics like the Amiga or NES.
Note from the editorial team: It is with great regret that we must inform you that this year our editorial team will not be able to appear in Poznań. However, we will be closely following all reports from the fair and wish the participants unforgettable experiences!
