PlayX4, the largest gaming exhibition in the metropolitan area, will be held at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Ilsan for four days starting May 21.

Hosted by Gyeonggi Province and organized by the Gyeonggi Content Agency, PlayX4 traces its roots back to 2009 as the Gyeonggi Functional Game Festival before rebranding to its current name in 2016. This year, the event is scheduled to coincide with the Buddha's Birthday holiday, and a larger turnout is expected compared to previous years.

The B2C exhibition area will feature PC, mobile, and console games, as well as indie titles. This year, in addition to game demos, dedicated zones for hardware and merchandise will be provided. Preparations for the event are now in full swing following the closure of exhibitor applications in late February.

Side events are also planned. From the 21st to the 22nd, export consultations will be held to help small and medium-sized game companies enter overseas markets. This program will include one-on-one business matching and networking sessions with domestic and international publishers and investors. On the weekend of the 23rd and 24th, a retro game market will be held, along with events such as a cosplay competition where visitors can participate directly.

Pre-registration for those wishing to attend the event will begin in early April. More specific information regarding the exhibition and side events will be announced later through the official website.
