gamescom 2026 is here.‍

The biggest gaming show on the planet is already underway in Cologne, running from August 26–30, 2026, after Opening Night Live kicked things off on August 25 with a free stream across YouTube, Twitch, and Steam. With E3 gone, gamescom has become the major gaming event of the season. Last year, it drew 357,000 visitors from 128 countries, and the announcements happening this week are giving players a look at what they’ll be playing this fall and beyond. Here’s how to get the most out of the rest of gamescom.

The smart way to watch: turn hype into a plan

Every game you wishlist during gamescom is a game you'll eventually pour hours into. On the GAIMIN Launcher, those future hours earn. So while you watch:

‍

1. Wishlist strategically: note which reveals you'll actually play at launch.
2. Get your Launcher ready: connect your Steam, Epic, Battle.net, and Riot libraries now so that when those games drop, every hour played is already stacking GMRX.
   ‍

Earn during the show, too

gamescom week is a lot of watching and waiting, perfect Earn Engine weather. Leave it running while you stream the broadcasts and your PC earns from spare cycles the whole time. When the show slows down, Q Games (GAIMIN's built-in mini games) fill the gaps between streams.
‍

Go in as a Club member

If gamescom has you hyped to buy, GAIMIN Club is how you claw some of that spending back: up to 400% more GMRX on the games you're about to binge, member-only hardware and store discounts for that post-show upgrade itch, and bigger mission payouts during the busiest gaming week of the year.

‍

Turn the hype into rewards. Download the Launcher free before Opening Night Live, and multiply every launch-day hour with GAIMIN Club.
