gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2025 Day 2 Recap: Consumer area opens with big gaming booths

Day 2 of gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2025 was a big one, as it featured the opening of the event’s big consumer area. While the event began yesterday with the opening of the business area, the first day was more of an industry affair. For Day 2, the event finally opened its doors to gamers in Bangkok, and it was definitely a delight, given the various booths.

At the start of Day 2, we saw the big opening ceremony at the event’s main stage. This ceremony featured various guests, including speakers from the first day.

After this, we finally got to go around the consumer area. Over the years, we’ve seen plenty of big booths from major publishers at Thailand Game Show, and this year’s event is no exception. The publishers that joined the event include Bandai Namco Entertainment, Capcom, Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, SEGA (via Epicsoft) and many more.

At the booths, visitors could try out some game demos for newly launched and upcoming titles. Plus, some booths also featured a wide selection of merch available for purchase. Even though the second day happened on a weekday, plenty of visitors had already flocked to the event. Thus, we expect to see even more people during the weekend.

Of course, while the consumer area was the highlight for attendees, the event also featured some other notable highlights, including:

Dead Space and Call of Duty creator Glenn Schofield received a Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring his impact in the industry.
A live panel with the cast and creators of Island of Hearts, 4Divinity’s latest venture with Titan Media, offered fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new IP.
