Brazil Games returns to the world’s largest video game event with a delegation formed by Brazilian developers, service providers, independent studios and industry representatives. The group will be present in both the business and consumer areas of gamescom, reinforcing Brazil’s role as a country that develops original games, provides specialized production services and builds long-term relationships with the international market.
The initiative is part of the ongoing work led by Abragames and ApexBrasil to support the internationalization of Brazilian game companies. At gamescom, Brazil Games will connect studios with publishers, investors, platforms, media, and potential business partners, while also giving players the opportunity to discover projects developed in Brazil.

The delegation includes companies working on original IPs, co-development, art, animation, outsourcing and other specialized services. Together, they show a broader picture of the Brazilian games industry: creative, business-oriented and increasingly prepared to operate in global markets.
"Brazil continues to establish itself as an increasingly important partner for the global games industry," said Patricia Sato, Executive Manager at Brazil Games. “Our work with ApexBrasil and Abragames is focused on creating real opportunities for Brazilian companies, from business meetings to visibility for new projects. Brazil has talent, technical capacity and a creative identity of its own, and we want the global market to see that up close.”
Brazil Takes the Spotlight at gamescom’s Indie Area
For the first time, Brazil Games will operate a dedicated pavilion in gamescom’s Indie Area, creating a new showcase opportunity for emerging Brazilian studios and original IPs.The pavilion will bring together initiatives and support from Brazil Games Accelerator, Embratur, and Sebrae-SP, collectively presenting dozens of Brazilian-developed titles to international audiences throughout the event.
As the main exhibitor within the pavilion, Brazil Games Accelerator will showcase a curated selection of games from its latest cohort, highlighting the program’s work to support promising Brazilian studios with international growth potential.
The Indie Area presence marks an important step for Brazil’s independent development scene. It gives international audiences direct access to games shaped by Brazilian creators, with projects that reflect different regions, references, stories and styles from across the country.
A Consolidated B2B Presence at gamescom
In addition to its consumer-facing activities, Brazil Games will maintain a strong presence in the B2B area, facilitating meetings between Brazilian companies and international publishers, investors, service providers and industry stakeholders.
Participating companies will present both original game projects and specialized development services, reinforcing Brazil’s position as a reliable partner for co-development, outsourcing and creative collaboration.
For gamescom 2026, Brazil Games has also expanded its business support materials and industry catalogues, introducing dedicated publications focused on games and service providers. The goal is to make it easier for international partners to understand what Brazilian companies offer, identify potential partners and start conversations during the event.
This business focus is central to the Brazil Games Export Program. The program’s work at international events is not limited to promotion. It is designed to help Brazilian companies access markets, develop relationships and turn visibility into concrete opportunities.
Brazil’s Expanding Games Ecosystem
Brazil Games’ participation at gamescom 2026 comes at a time when the Brazilian game development sector continues to gain international attention, supported by initiatives that encourage innovation, entrepreneurship and export readiness.
