A friendly match at the EA SPORTS FIFA booth
E3 may get all of the attention, but Gamescom is the largest gaming convention in the world. In its five days, more than 6,000 journalists, 700 exhibitors, and 335,000 gamers will attend, playing the latest games from developers across the world. Here’s a primer on how to follow all of the action.

If you’re lucky enough to attend, you should know that Gamescom is so vast that it can sometimes be challenging to get to the right booth at the right time. This is where the official gamescom app for iOS and Android comes in. With the interactive map provided in the app, you will always have reliable information on the highlights of the convention, and of course be notified of all EA events.
