Taipei Game Show

Hardware Leadership and Strategic Early Calendar Timing

Capitalizing on Taiwan's dominance in PC hardware and semiconductor manufacturing (ASUS, MSI, Acer), Taipei Game Show takes place in late January or February, making it the first major international gaming event of each calendar year. This timing enables global publishers to spotlight major first-half titles across the Asia-Pacific territory.

Indie House and Cross-Border Partnerships

Through its dedicated 'Indie House' and the acclaimed 'Indie Game Award', the expo offers a pivotal launchpad for Western and Asian independent teams seeking publishing and localization deals in Greater China and Southeast Asia, uniting console, PC, and mobile sectors.
