Home of Indies at gamescom 2025 Keeps Growing

Even more space, even more variety for indie games: The Home of Indies at gamescom 2025 is growing to 440 square metres this year and bookings are now open.

Factory-C, the Berlin-based communications agency specializing in gaming and esports events, is returning to gamescom with Home of Indies. Now in its fourth year, the shared booth offers developer studios from around the world the opportunity to showcase their latest games to a wide audience at 440 square meters in Hall 10.2 (Indie Area).

"Home of Indies is more than just a shared stand at gamescom - it's a platform for indie studios from all over the globe to showcase their projects and build valuable connections at the trade fair," says Christiane Gehrke, Senior Event Communication & Sales Manager at Factory-C and the driving force behind Home of Indies. Since its debut at gamescom 2022, the number of exhibitors has grown by nearly 70%. "Every year, we're reminded of the incredible passion and sense of community within the indie world, and how well the concept resonates with studios, publishers, and visitors alike."

This is an increase of 175 square metres compared to last year. New highlights include a streaming booth where indie games will be shown live. For the first time, indie studios will also have access to a dedicated meeting room for business meetings and the opportunity to use MeetToMatch. Interested indie developers can book a stand at the Home of Indies. There are three sizes of exhibition space to choose from. There is also a dedicated area for games rated 16 or 18 and up.
