The COVID portion of the website also noted details about in-person attendance. It confirms that anyone attending an event, like Gamescom 2022, at Koelnmesse will need to show their European Union Digital Covid Certificate proof of vaccination. People who do not have that documentation can show proof of an approved vaccine. The center’s official site also says people can pay to take a COVID-19 test on-site. Venture Beat also noted that fewer in-person tickets will be sold than in previous years.

As for the Gamescom Goes Green elements, there are also details about its measures to reduce CO2 emissions and be environmentally friendly. There will be things like free VRS and DB tickets to travel. There will be a bike program and bike stations.

Gamescom will be held August 24-28, 2022.
