Game Carnival hosted by Unreal Engine is hosted on an on-line platform as a part of the global physical distancing efforts against COVID-19. Our virtual gaming event provides a safe and efficient alternative for game developers, users, and gaming companies to interact and experience an exhibition and trade show.

Game Carnival hosted by Unreal Engine is an on-line virtual game show for all gaming companies, industry professionals, and game users.

It is completely free for all: gaming companies, industry professionals, game users, and the general public.

Game Carnival presented by Unreal Engine uses Xsolla’s Your World Platform, a powerful sandbox title and online social platform built on Unreal Engine 4. Your World Platform allows players of all ages and skill levels to create on-line worlds, games, and theme parks in a virtual environment.

There are multiple showcases during the Game Carnival, with a few dates reserved and open only to industry-qualified attendees. To register for access to the B2B open parks, click the "RSVP" button above and create your profile. Once approved, you will receive a link to download the game launcher at the email that you used for registration.

Certain showcases during the duration of the Game Carnival will also be available to the general public as noted in the schedule listed above. If you wish to attend during those times only, simply download the launcher file from the website and install it. Create your account, and log in during the B2C open dates to access the parks.

- Exhibitors will be available at the virtual booths during the event. Voice chatting will be supported for real-time interaction between users and exhibitors.
‍
- You can contact game developers outside of the virtual event. QR codes will be posted inside the booths so that you can simply scan the QR code and get their webpage or contact information.

Attendees can virtually meet with other attendees at the Xsolla Lounge, located near the South Gate of each World.

You can save another user’s contact information when you interact with them in the virtual space. Press “V” on the keyboard, use the cursor to click on the user, and their info will be saved on your PC.
