Steam confirms first-ever presence at gamescom latam, bolstering latin American Game development
Valve's Steam, the leading PC game distribution platform, has officially confirmed its participation in Gamescom Latam 2025, to be held in São Paulo, Brazil.
This marks Steam's first appearance at a major event in Latin America, signaling a significant step in engaging with the region's developers and publishers.
Launched in 2003, Steam is the most popular PC platform, offering tens of thousands of titles from both AAA studios and independent developers. With a massive global player base, Steam is not only an online game store but also a crucial component of the PC gaming ecosystem. Therefore, Steam's participation in Gamescom Latam 2025 is expected to bring numerous opportunities for regional game developers.
Steam to Host In-Depth Workshops at Gamescom Latam 2025
Beyond simply attending, Steam will host two in-depth workshops specifically for game industry professionals. The discussions will feature Steam experts Kassidy Gerber, Alden Kroll, and Nathaniel Blue. The content will focus on best practices for publishing games on the platform, providing regional studios and publishers with a clearer understanding of the process of bringing games to Steam.
In addition, Steam will have a booth in the event's Business Area, where developers can meet directly with Steam representatives to discuss issues related to digital game publishing. This is a valuable opportunity for creative teams in Latin America to access Steam in a more professional and direct way. The event is scheduled from April 30th to May 4th, 2025, at the Anhembi Convention Center in São Paulo, Brazil.
Gamescom Latam, first held in 2024, quickly became the largest gaming event in Latin America. With a range of new projects, learning opportunities, exclusive experience zones, and the presence of major companies like Steam, the 2025 event promises to be even bigger.
Last year, Gamescom Latam received positive feedback from the gaming community and developers. Major awards, such as Game of the Year, were also presented, further affirming the event's importance in the regional gaming industry. Gamescom Latam 2025 is projected to continue expanding its scope, creating conditions for Latin American studios to assert their position on the international gaming map.
A Notable Milestone for the Gaming Industry
The event not only offers networking opportunities between regional developers and industry giants but also helps expand the PC gaming market in Latin America. With the presence of Steam and many other major gaming companies, Gamescom Latam 2025 could become one of the most noteworthy events of the year for gamers globally.
