gamescom asia Thailand Game Show 2026 is taking place from 29 October to 1 November 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok. The public entertainment halls are open through Sunday, 1 November, while the business conference finished on Friday. The online PRIMETIME showcase has already aired.
For anyone following from Britain, the most important time was PRIMETIME on Thursday, 29 October from 1 PM to 2 PM GMT. The public exhibition runs from 3 AM until 1 PM GMT on each of its three days. The distinction matters because the event has industry-only areas, ticketed public halls and an online show that viewers can watch without visiting Thailand.
gamescom asia Thailand Game Show 2026 dates and UK times
Bangkok uses UTC+7. The UK had returned to GMT on 25 October 2026, so Bangkok is seven hours ahead of London throughout the event. These are the organiser’s posted times converted to the UK:
| Activity | Bangkok time | UK time (GMT) |
|---|---|---|
| Business exhibition and conference, 29-30 October | 10 AM to 6 PM | 3 AM to 11 AM |
| PRIMETIME, Thursday 29 October | 8 PM to 9 PM | 1 PM to 2 PM |
| Public entertainment area, 30 October-1 November | 10 AM to 8 PM daily | 3 AM to 1 PM daily |
The 29-30 October business area and conference are now over. The public section opened on Friday, 30 October and runs through Sunday, 1 November. On the organiser’s current schedule the public halls close at 8 PM Bangkok time on Sunday, which is 1 PM GMT in the UK.
How to watch the gamescom asia Thailand Game Show 2026 PRIMETIME replay
The one-hour PRIMETIME opening show aired on Thursday, 29 October, before the public entertainment halls opened. It featured game trailers, teasers and indie showcases. It was announced for YouTube, Facebook and Twitch, with English coverage and additional languages.
If you missed it, check the organiser’s entertainment highlights section for its Watch 2026’s PRIMETIME link. That keeps you with the event’s official recording rather than unofficial reuploads. The 1 PM GMT start time is historical now; there isn’t a second PRIMETIME showing scheduled as part of the remaining public exhibition.
The organiser also highlighted a Steam festival alongside the show, where visitors and people at home can discover participating games, watch broadcasts and find demos or wishlist opportunities. That’s separate from Valve’s October Steam Next Fest, which has its own dates and rules.
Where is gamescom asia Thailand Game Show 2026 being held?
The venue is the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand. The public entertainment area uses Exhibition Halls 2 to 4 on the ground floor, while the business exhibition and conference occupied the Plenary Hall area on the first floor earlier in the event.
The entertainment area includes games, esports, hardware demonstrations, merchandise, live performances, meet-and-greets and a dedicated indie area. A public ticket is required for entry; the event is not a free walk-in exhibition.
Can public tickets get you into the business conference?
No. The organiser restricts the business exhibition and conference to industry visitors with the corresponding admission. Entertainment-area ticket holders do not automatically receive entry to the business zone. Conversely, standard business visitor admission doesn’t necessarily include the entertainment halls; conference delegate and VIP tickets have their own inclusions.
For the public halls, the organiser lists single-day and fast-pass options. A single-day ticket applies to one date. Fast-pass holders can use early entry from 9:30 AM Bangkok time, half an hour ahead of ordinary opening. Follow the organiser’s ticket and wristband instructions rather than trying to enter using a PRIMETIME stream link.
Is gamescom asia Thailand Game Show 2026 still on?
The final public day is Sunday, 1 November 2026. The entertainment halls open at 10 AM Bangkok time (3 AM GMT) and close at 8 PM Bangkok time (1 PM GMT). PRIMETIME and the industry programme have already finished.
For UK viewers, gamescom asia Thailand Game Show 2026 has a straightforward schedule: the online presentation was on Thursday at 1 PM GMT, and the public halls close on Sunday at 1 PM GMT according to the organiser’s listed opening hours. If you’re looking for a particular new game’s trailer or release date, check that game’s own developer announcement before treating a show clip as confirmation.
