gamescom 2025

The biggest games event in the world

We celebrate diversity - not only during Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

New styles with special pride print #LOVEISLOVE

As gamescom, we stand for openness, respect and acceptance - in the gaming world and beyond. Especially during Pride Month, as part of #TeamDiversity, we set an example for more visibility and equality. That's why we are particularly pleased to be able to support a charitable foundation again this year.

Get the #LOVEISLOVE T-shirt in black or white now and also get the exclusive PRIDE pin with glitter. With every purchase of one of our limited edition LOVEISLOVE T-shirts, we donate €5 to the Du bist gut! Foundation - and set a strong signal for diversity and togetherness. 💖
