GXG 2026 (Game culture X Generation 2026), an urban game culture festival hosted by Seongnam City and co-organized by the Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency and the Game Culture Foundation, will be held for two days from September 11 to 12 in the Pangyo Station Plaza area.
Marking its fourth iteration this year, GXG 2026 will be held as a complex game culture event featuring a variety of programs including stage performances, exhibitions, hands-on activities, lectures, and networking under the slogan "Game, Enjoy as Culture!". Last year's GXG 2025 established itself as South Korea's largest urban game culture festival, recording approximately 38,000 visitors.
Recruitment for participants in the festival's core program, the game music competition 'The 3rd GXG SOUND TRACK,' will begin in early June. Open to anyone who loves games and music without genre restrictions, the contest has generated buzz each year with original creative compositions and performances.
Yoo Byung-han, Chairman of the Game Culture Foundation, stated that based on four years of accumulated know-how, they are enhancing the program's quality to prepare fresh and rich entertainment, expressing hope that it will be a time for citizens to discover the cultural appeal of games. Detailed information regarding the GXG 2026 event and competition participation will be released sequentially on the official GXG website.
