Gaming, Cosplay & Consultation: What Vienna Game City 2025 Offers

The average age at the Vienna City Hall is likely to drop significantly again soon - at least temporarily: From October 10 to 12, the 16th Game City will take place there. The computer game showcase organized by the association "Wienxtra" presents hardware, new titles, and even e-sports competitions with free admission. The topic of responsible gaming will also be addressed.

With 85,000 visitors last year - the numbers are from the previous year - Game City is the largest event of its kind in Austria, the organizers explained on Monday. The range of exhibitors spans from large publishers to indie studios. According to Wienxtra, numerous games can be tried out before their release.

Advice on Addiction and Bullying at Vienna Game City

A mix of entertainment and education is emphasized. There is an advisory area on topics such as addiction prevention and cyberbullying. Discussions will also take place at the "Future and Reality of Gaming" conference (FROG), which is traditionally part of the Game City program. The offer for the youngest fans will also be highlighted, namely in a children's zone for four to twelve-year-olds.

Older gamers can test the latest PCs, laptops, monitors, or the most current accessories in the city hall rooms. An e-sports zone will also be set up. There, participants can even compete for qualification for the Tetris World Finals in Dubai. Those who wish to purchase a product or two will find what they are looking for at the Game City market of the event partner Media-Markt.

Cosplay Parade Also on the Program at Vienna Game City

As in previous years, a cosplay parade is also on the program. The mostly colorfully costumed participants will march from Mariahilfer Straße to the city hall on Saturday.
