More Space, More Variety: Home of Indies Launches Booking for Gamescom 2025!

FACTORY-C, the Berlin-based communications agency specializing in gaming and esports events, is returning to Gamescom with the ultimate hub for indie game developers and fans – Home of Indies. Now in its fourth year, the Home of Indies stand offers developer studios from around the world the opportunity to showcase their latest games to a wide audience. Covering 440 square meters in Hall 10.2’s Indie Area, the space invites visitors to explore and play exciting new indie titles while connecting directly with the creative minds behind them.

“Home of Indies is more than just a shared stand at Gamescom – it’s a platform for indie studios from all over the globe to showcase their projects and build valuable connections at the trade fair,” says Christiane Gehrke, Senior Event Communication & Sales Manager at FACTORY-C and the driving force behind Home of Indies. Since its debut at Gamescom 2022, the number of exhibitors has grown by nearly 70%. “Every year, we’re reminded of the incredible passion and sense of community within the indie world, and how well the concept resonates with studios, publishers, and visitors alike.”

At Gamescom 2025, the Home of Indies stand will grow by 175 square meters compared to last year. New highlights include an exclusive Streaming Booth, where indie games will be showcased live. For the first time, indie studios will also have access to a dedicated meeting space for business appointments, along with the option to use MeetToMatch.
