Gear up for Game Week 2024 – where the magic of gaming unfolds! It’s not just an event; it’s a synergy of video game partners, immersive tech, and esports in Breda, materialising in conferences, meet ups, workshops and expos. Our goal? An annual gaming celebration uniting industry leaders, talents, tech, and capital to elevate the video game scene.

Breda is home to over 4,000 students studying video games, immersive content, esports, digital art, and related areas. Notably, BUas’s Creative Media and Game Technologies program is globally recognised and ranked in the top three for video game education. A fertile ground to enhance the connections between industry professionals, talents and audiences. Since its debut in 2023, Playgrounds has been the driving force behind the Game Week in Breda. This dynamic event is set to bring together key players in the gaming industry, part of an (inter)national hub for applied technology and creativity.

Showcasing the latest trends in game art, development, publishing, esports, serious gaming, and immersive tech, from indie developers and larger studios to investors, students, and families, Game Week provides the perfect way to immerse in the gaming scene. It is a unique opportunity for different groups to connect, learn from one another, and strengthen Breda’s thriving gaming community. The event’s robust professional program for industry experts is complemented by a public program of workshops, expos, and, of course, games. In short, for everyone in the industry and anyone who loves gaming, Breda Game Week is the place to be!
