Organizers described the gathering as the most international version of the festival to date. The event served as a major hub for developers, publishers, and fans from across the globe to showcase new projects and technology. This high turnout highlights the growing influence of the Southeast Asian market in the broader gaming landscape. Industry experts noted that the scale of the event reflects a shift in how global gaming companies approach regional engagement. By merging these two prominent shows, organizers created a unified platform that attracted a diverse range of participants. The festival featured a wide array of activities, including hands-on demonstrations of upcoming titles and discussions on industry trends. Many attendees traveled from outside the region to participate in the various panels and networking sessions.
