Never Stop Playin‘
We bring the games industry to the heart of Leipzig – and to gamescom!
R42 is the brand-new ecosystem for the games and media industry, located in a seven-story building right in downtown Leipzig.
As part of the SACHSEN! joint booth in Hall 4.1, we are showcasing at gamescom how we combine gaming, gastronomy, events, content production, coworking, and urban living – all under one roof.
This unique concept in Germany connects traditional industries with the games community, driving innovation throughout the entire region.
