The Game City is a place where everyone - from hobby athletes to real experts - comes together to celebrate the common interest in gaming.

Promoting a responsible handling of digital content is a central concern that is supported by informative lectures and discussions. "Gaming enriches and inspires, it is a hobby that connects and brings joy," emphasized Vucko Schüchner, Managing Director of Wienxtra.

A free entry ensures that everyone has the opportunity to be part of the largest gaming festival in Austria. However, certain regulations must be observed: Larger pockets and glass bottles are not allowed on the site. Age ribbons for the 16+ and 18+ areas can probably already be picked up in the MediaMarkt shops on October 9th and 10th, which can avoid long waiting times on site. This strategy not only ensures order, but also ensures that every visitor can discover the areas that are suitable for him.
