South Korea’s largest international game exhibition, G-STAR 2026, will be held at BEXCO in Haeundae, Busan, for four days, from Thursday, November 19, to Sunday, November 22.

​

This year’s event will feature a wide range of programs, including new games from around the world, indie game experiences, and esports matches. Some on-site photos are from previous events.

The Korea Game Awards are scheduled for November 18. The exhibition for general visitors begins the next day, the 19th.

General admission tickets for G-STAR 2026 must be purchased online in advance. General admission tickets will not be sold at the venue, so complete your booking in advance once you’ve chosen your visit date.

Youth tickets are for people born on or after January 1, 2008, and the free admission age limit for preschool children is those born in 2020 or earlier. Visitors eligible for free admission must bring documents verifying their eligibility and obtain a ticket at the on-site information desk.

​

You can book through the official G-STAR website or the Ticketlink booking page linked from it.

• Book online by 24:00 on the day before your visit

• Purchase up to 2 tickets per person per day

• Valid only on the selected visit date

• Verify your booking on-site and exchange it for an admission wristband

• Ticket verification closes at 17:00; admission closes at 17:30

Here, “on-site ticket issuance” means verifying a ticket purchased in advance at the venue and exchanging it for an admission wristband. Note that this is different from purchasing a new general admission ticket at the venue on the day of the event.

Among this year’s main attractions are new releases from Korean and international game companies and games across a range of genres.

​

Exhibition Hall 1 will host HoYoverse, Team42, KRAFTON, Google Play, WEBZEN, and others. Exhibition Hall 2 will feature a global game showcase and an indie game exhibition.

Game company booths may feature new game demos, video previews, stage events, and merchandise events. For details on which games will be available to try on-site, it’s best to check each company’s final announcements.

​

In particular, G-STAR Indie Showcase 2.0: GALAXYoffers games with distinct character and ideas that differ from those of major game companies. Trying indie games in various genres and discovering new development teams are also part of the exhibition’s appeal.

​

The booth numbers below are based on the official exhibitor list and may change. Before your visit, check the BTC exhibitor information on the official G-STAR website for the latest floor plan and showcased games.

In addition to game exhibitions and hands-on experiences, international esports matches are scheduled to take place at G-STAR 2026.

​

Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) Asia Finalsare scheduled to be held at the BEXCO Auditorium from November 20 to 22.

​

You can watch top teams from across Asia compete in person, offering a different kind of excitement from trying games yourself.

Tickets to watch OWCS matches are sold separately from general G-STAR BTC admission tickets. Check the ticket types and admission benefits for each when booking.

​

If you’re interested in game development or the industry as a whole, you may also want to check out the event held November 19–20: G-CON 2026 Game ConferenceA pass is required for the conference, separate from the general exhibition ticket.

You can reach BEXCO via Centum City Station or BEXCO Station on Busan Metro Line 2, or BEXCO Station on the Donghae Line.

​

If you’re driving, you can use the underground parking lots at Exhibition Halls 1 and 2.

​

BEXCO standard parking rates for small vehicles

Parking lots and surrounding roads may be crowded during the event, so public transportation may be more convenient. Parking rates and discount conditions may change, so check BEXCO’s information on the day of your visit.

If trying new games is your priority, use the official booth floor plan to find the game companies you’re interested in and plan your route in advance.

​

Wait times at popular booths may be long on weekends. One possible route is to visit the major game company booths in Exhibition Hall 1 first, then head to the global showcase and indie game exhibition in Exhibition Hall 2.

​

G-STAR 2026 is one of Busan’s signature November events, where you can enjoy new game experiences and international esports matches. Checking booking information, demo schedules from each exhibitor, and the latest booth layout in advance can help you make the most of your time at the event.

If you’re planning a trip to Busan alongside your visit to G-STAR, you could also look into a tour departing from Busan that visits the Haeundae Sky Capsule, Gamcheon Culture Village, and Oryukdo Skywalk.
