Taipei Game Show returns next week, running January 29 through February 1, 2026, at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. One of Asia’s most influential gaming events, this year’s show brings together 399 exhibitors from 26 countries and regions, transforming both 1F Area I and the entire 4F exhibition space into a two-level celebration of games, creators, and communities.

Across four days, attendees will be able to experience more than 500 games spanning console, PC, mobile, and tabletop formats. From globally anticipated blockbusters to standout indie projects, the 2026 lineup reflects the full breadth of the modern games industry.

Over 100 unreleased titles will be playable on-site, alongside esports competitions, hardware showcases, and hands-on peripheral demos.

B2B Zone and Asia Pacific Game Summit Expand for 2026

This year’s B2B Zone and the concurrently held Asia Pacific Game Summit (APGS) have both expanded and relocated to 1F Area I, creating a more integrated hub for industry professionals.

The B2B Zone features 100+ exhibitors, including publicly listed Taiwanese companies and international partners across publishing, technology, and services. More than 1,000 business visitors from over 35 countries are already networking through the online matchmaking system ahead of the show.

APGS introduces two dedicated stages, MAIN STAGE and AI STAGE, with nearly 30 sessions covering game development, indie production, operations and marketing, payment solutions, generative AI, and emerging technologies. Speakers from across the global games industry will share case studies and forward-looking insights, with forum registration available at no cost.

B2C Zone Showcases Premieres, Fan Favorites, and Major Publishers

The B2C Zone floor plan has been fully revealed, highlighting one of the most content-rich consumer lineups in the event’s history. Nintendo returns for its fourth consecutive year with an expanded booth featuring interactive experiences, playable demos, and character meet-and-greet sessions.

Major publishers and distributors will present a wide range of unreleased and newly announced titles, many playable for the first time outside Japan. From long-running franchises to brand-new IPs, the show floor promises something for every kind of player, whether drawn to action, RPGs, competitive titles, or narrative-driven experiences.

Mobile and live-service games will also have a strong presence, with venue-exclusive activities, themed merchandise, and cosplay events adding to the atmosphere throughout the hall.

Indie House and Board Game Wonderland Hit Record Scale

Indie House, exclusively title-sponsored by Smilegate STOVE, brings together 191 developers and publishers from 23 countries, showcasing 250+ indie titles.

The lineup spans local Taiwanese projects and internationally recognized indie studios, offering attendees a rare opportunity to discover new games directly from their creators. A parallel online sale in collaboration with STOVE will allow players to support participating developers beyond the show floor.

Board Game Wonderland also reaches its largest scale to date, featuring 31 companies and 80+ titles, including major trading card game IPs such as Pokémon Trading Card Game, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, and Disney Lorcana. With genres ranging from strategy to family-friendly titles, the area offers hands-on fun for players of all ages.

Esports, Live Stages, and Creator-Focused Experiences

The TGS STAGE, presented in partnership with ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG), will host 15 esports tournaments and live events throughout the show. Programming includes special stages, exhibition matches, launch celebrations, and live performances, all streamed globally via Twitch and YouTube.

New for 2026, Taipei Game Show is partnering with Twitch to introduce a dedicated Creators’ Lounge, providing content creators with a space to collaborate, stream, and share moments from the event directly with their audiences.
