The upcoming 2026 edition of Gamescom Asia in collaboration with the Thailand Game Show has introduced four new pavilions, raising the total number to 20, representing markets across Asia, Europe, and North America.

The newly added pavilions are supported by Indonesia's Ministry of Creative Economy, Japan's JETRO, Malaysia's Digital Economy Corporation, and the US Embassy in Bangkok.

These newcomers join established pavilions from countries including Austria, Germany, the Philippines, South Korea, Spain, and Thailand, which serves as the host nation.
