Valve's prominent PC gaming platform, Steam, will make its first appearance at Gamescom Latam in 2025, held in São Paulo, Brazil. This marks a pivotal moment for the Latin American games industry, offering regional developers and publishers a direct line to the leading platform for PC game distribution.

Launched in 2003, Steam boasts a vast library of titles, ranging from indie gems to AAA blockbusters, and caters to millions of active users. Its presence at Gamescom Latam underscores the platform’s commitment to fostering growth within the global gaming community.

Beyond exhibiting at the convention’s business area, Steam will host two technical talks focused on industry insights.  Led by Steam representatives Kassidy Gerber, Alden Kroll, and Nathaniel Blue, these sessions will delve into best practices for launching games on the platform, providing invaluable knowledge to local developers.

Steam aims to establish stronger ties with Latin American developers and publishers, offering guidance and support for navigating the digital distribution landscape.  With the continued rise of PC gaming, Gamescom Latam 2025 offers a prime opportunity for both emerging and established studios to connect with Steam and explore avenues for success.

Gamescom Latam, launched in 2024 as the region's largest gaming event, returns in 2025 with even greater promise.  The event will showcase exciting new projects, offer educational opportunities, feature exclusive attractions, and host major players like Steam.

Scheduled from Wednesday, April 30th to Sunday, May 4th, at the Anhembi District Convention Center in São Paulo, Gamescom Latam 2025 builds on the success of its inaugural year, which included notable announcements from regional studios, positive attendee feedback, and the prestigious Gamescom Latam 2024 Awards.

The global gaming landscape continues to evolve, and Gamescom Latam 2025 is poised to strengthen Latin America’s role within the industry. The presence of Steam and other major companies makes it an event worth watching for international gaming enthusiasts.
