Bucharest Gaming Week occurs in a hybrid format between October 12-13, 2024, with events in different locations and online broadcasts. The Palace of Parliament will host the central event on October 12-13, spotlighting Romania’s best-known gaming content creators and the newest video games released this year.
The main event occurs at the Palace of Parliament with the most famous streamers, the newest games and contests with hundreds of prizes.
The climax of Bucharest Gaming Week, Romania’s most anticipated gaming event, takes place this weekend, on October 12 and 13, at the Palace of the Parliament. More than 15 thousand video game fans will meet the most famous Romanian gamers and will be able to compete with them for hundreds of prizes.
Bucharest Gaming Week debuted with an online edition that gathered over 400,000 visitors last weekend. Throughout the week, related events took place in Bucharest that focused on the entire universe of video games, from what entails game development to screenings of films inspired by gaming.
It’s the biggest Bucharest Gaming Week so far. The festival has grown year to year in content and space and in the number of participants. This year, we expect to surpass our record from last year. In the future, the Palace of Parliament will become unfit for video game lovers. We are very pleased with the presence of the Romanian Army and the Police and the desire of these institutions to communicate with the Romanian gaming public. How we are also honoured by the fact that the Professional Football League has chosen Bucharest Gaming Week to present, for the first time, EA FC 25 players affiliated with football clubs in the Super League.
