Cold Brew and Hot Code: Showcasing Live Game Tools at Gamescom 2025

Gamescom 2025 was one of our best events yet. Over three days in Cologne, the Beamable team connected with developers, publishers, and partners from all over the world to showcase how our platform helps studios build, launch, and scale live games with speed and flexibility.

A Booth Full of Builders

Our business area booth was buzzing from open to close. Developers—from scrappy indies to major studios—came by to see how Beamable’s Unity and Unreal integrations streamline live game development. From content workflows to backend services like matchmaking and leaderboards, our demos highlighted what Beamable makes possible: more time spent building great gameplay, less time reinventing infrastructure.

Cold Brew and Live Game Chops

We like to say Beamable brings more than just technology—we bring culture, too. At gamescom, that meant serving up daily cold brew straight from home and pairing it with our live game expertise. A little taste of America in Europe, fueling conversations about what it really takes to launch and grow lasting game experiences.

Happy Hour, Happy Community

One of the best parts of gamescom was simply connecting with people. Our Happy Hour quickly became one of the week’s go-to networking spots, with attendees gathering to swap stories, ideas, and future plans. The energy was so strong, we hosted a second one the next day—twice the crowd, twice the fun.

Spotlight on Live Games

Beamable exists to empower studios to deliver long-lasting, live experiences. At gamescom, we saw firsthand how much the developer community values solutions that give them speed, ownership, and flexibility. Whether it was in a meeting room or over a cold drink, the message was clear: teams want to focus on building games, not managing infrastructure.

Beamable.Network Joins the Party

While Beamable was the star of the show, Beamable.Network also had its moment at gamescom. Together with Polygon, Wolves DAO, and MomentumX, we co-hosted a mixer that brought together an amazing crowd of builders, investors, and community leaders to talk about the future of decentralized infrastructure for games. It was a great way to connect Beamable.Network’s mission with the broader Web3 and DePIN ecosystem.

Looking Ahead

As we wrap up gamescom 2025, one thing stands out: the excitement around Beamable is stronger than ever. Developers are looking for ways to build smarter, launch faster, and operate live games with confidence—and we’re here to deliver.

If we missed you at gamescom, we’d still love to connect. Feel free to book some time with our COO Trapper to talk about how Beamable can help you build fast and launch smart with no limits.
