It’s hard to believe, but Gamescom 2022 is already upon us. In the wake of June’s Summer Game Fest and the cancellation of E3, Gamescom is 2022’s next big game industry show. Over 500 companies will be bringing their games, consoles, products, and more to the show floor in Cologne, Germany. Fans should get ready for plenty of announcements, trailers, release date reveals, and even more hype-generating content.
If you can’t make it to the expo hall, don’t worry; many of Gamescom’s biggest events will be streamed live. The Opening Night Show will be streamed today, Aug. 23, in celebration of the first day of the show. We’ve compiled all the dates and times of the biggest livestreamed shows so you can see everything Gamescom has to offer from the comfort of your sofa.
