The gaming culture festival 'GXG 2026 (Game culture X Generation 2026)' will be held from the 11th to the 12th around Pangyo Station Plaza. Hosted by Seongnam City, the event is co-organized by the Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency and the Game Culture Foundation.
This year's festival expands the hands-on program 'THE PLAY' and the exhibition program 'THE ART' to showcase content that allows citizens to experience the cultural and social value of games.
At 'THE PLAY,' held at Pangyo Station North Plaza A, visitors can experience gameplay and creative activities. The 'GXG Play Lounge' offers console gaming, while the 'Brand Experience Zone' features activities such as drawing your own Brawler, four-cut photo booths, and checking game usage habits.
Interactive programs will also be provided, including voice dubbing for game characters, game sound production utilizing AI technology, and mini board games. Specialized books in game art, illustration, and animation will also be on display.
At the 'GXG Campus Arcade' on the second floor of Tech One Tower, games conceived and developed by students from game-related departments at Shingu College and Dong Seoul University will be unveiled. Visitors can play the students' works on site.
The exhibition program 'THE ART' introduces original compositions by finalists of the 'GXG SOUND TRACK' from 2024 to 2026. The social contribution exhibition at Central Plaza highlights initiatives and cases led by the gaming industry across education, culture, the environment, and local communities.
The venue will also feature a stamp rally and on-site events where attendees can participate while exploring major programs. The event map and detailed schedule can be found on the official 'GXG 2026' website.
