From now on, they won't have to cross the border, because GameForce will meet them in Utrecht to put on the best gaming fair of the Low Countries, with an eye for the latest games, the best esports, cosplay, buy&sell and all kinds of activities that belong to our gaming culture. It will be, especially after the cancelled editions of recent years, a highlight to look forward to," says Martijn Kollau, managing director of META NL, the fair organiser.

We are proud to host the biggest game fair of the Benelux next year."
