According to the G-Star Organizing Committee on October 21, the BTC exhibition at BEXCO Exhibition Hall 2 will feature participants such as Warhorse Studios, Sega and Atlus, Bandai Namco Entertainment, and Komodo, the distributor of Steam Deck. The first exhibition hall will house domestic game companies, including this year's main sponsor, NCSoft.

Czech developer Warhorse Studios has been nominated for "Game of the Year (GOTY)" thanks to the popularity of "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2," which was released earlier this year. Japanese game publishing giant Sega and its subsidiary studio Atlus ranked first in Metacritic's "2025 Game Publisher" list, backed by strong intellectual properties (IP) such as "Persona" and "Metaphor: ReFantazio." Bandai Namco Entertainment will present an on-site exhibition commemorating the 30th anniversary of its flagship flight shooting game series, "Ace Combat."

In addition, the organizing committee announced that another leading global game developer will participate in G-Star this year, preparing on-site events such as interactive exhibitions and e-sports events based on its flagship IP.

"Indie Showcase 2.0: Galaxy," which will be held in the second exhibition hall, will once again feature the portable gaming device Steam Deck as a key partner, following last year. Global game and content creation platform Unity will showcase a variety of original global games developed using the Unity engine on site.

The organizing committee stated, "This year's event goes beyond a simple exhibition and has been designed as an 'immersive festival' where visitors can directly experience the cultural and artistic expansiveness of games. On-site exhibitions, conferences, and indie game events will be seamlessly connected, allowing all participants to see, hear, participate, and experience G-Star firsthand."
