G-Star 2026 Guide: Dates, Tickets, Opening Hours and Confirmed Games in Busan
G-Star 2026 runs 19 to 22 November at BEXCO in Busan. Ticket prices, opening hours, which publishers and games are there, and how to watch online.
G-Star, Korea's biggest game show, returns to Busan this month, and this year there are no tickets at the door. Here's what the organisers and exhibitors have confirmed about the dates, prices and games.
When and where is G-Star 2026?
The public show runs from Thursday 19 November to Sunday 22 November 2026 at BEXCO in Busan, South Korea. The official site lists the event as 18 to 22 November, but Wednesday 18 November is the Korea Game Awards night, not a public day. The business (BTB) hall and the G-Con conference run alongside the public halls.
What are the opening hours?
On 19 November the halls open at 11:00, according to the official ticket page. Ticket checks close at 17:00 and last admission is at 17:30. The organisers haven't published a closing time, or the opening time for the other three days, yet.
How much are G-Star 2026 tickets?
- Adult: KRW 18,000
- Youth (born on or after 1 January 2008): KRW 8,000, and you may be asked for proof of age at the door
- Free: people with disabilities, persons of national merit and preschool children, who collect a ticket at the information centre
A ticket covers the public (BTC) halls on the day you booked only, with a limit of two per person per day.
Where do you buy tickets, and can you buy them at the door?
Online only. The official G-Star site sells them through Ticketlink until 23:59 on 21 November, and sales for each day close at midnight the day before. The organisers say plainly that there are no on-site ticket sales this year.
There's also a Korail package that bundles a KTX train to Busan with a ticket, from KRW 57,700, bookable until 15 November. Business and G-Con passes are sold separately and cost far more (KRW 300,000 each at on-site registration).
Which publishers are at G-Star 2026?
The official floor plan lists these booths:
- Exhibition Center 1: HoYoverse, Krafton, Google Play, Webzen, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Century Games, Team42, Crack, YHKT Entertainment, NetEase's Sea of Remnants, Gunz Remastered and Muse Dash 2
- Exhibition Center 2: Capcom, Sega, Koei Tecmo, NetEase, CD Projekt Red, Hyundai Motor Company, the event stage and the Indie Showcase 2.0: Galaxy area, with Devolver Digital, Unity and Steam Deck
Which games can you play at G-Star 2026?
These line-ups come from each company's announcement, as reported by Inven Global:
- Krafton: PUBG, Tarae: The Unbound with its new Tugwi class, a two-player co-op demo of Age Twisters, an early build of Waltz and Jam (out 3 December) and Overgeared Hero on phones and tablets
- Capcom: playable Mega Man: Dual Override and Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, both due in 2027
- Koei Tecmo: Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, Atelier Karia and Nioh 3

HoYoverse, Bandai Namco and Webzen haven't said which games they're bringing yet.
Who is speaking at G-Con 2026?
G-Con runs on 19 and 20 November with a storytelling theme. The official speaker list includes Shinji Mikami, Final Fantasy VII's Yoshinori Kitase and Naoki Hamaguchi, Hades creative director Greg Kasavin, Shift Up CEO Kim Hyung Tae (Stellar Blade), The Witcher 3's Marcin Blacha and Pragmata director Cho Yonghee.
Is there esports at G-Star 2026?
Yes. BEXCO's auditorium hosts the Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) Asia finals, with separate tickets. Inven Global reports that they run from 20 to 22 November and that an OWCS ticket also gets you into the public halls that day. Overwatch players can catch up on the Season 5 midseason update and its Stellar Blade skins before the finals.
Is there a G-Star 2026 livestream?
Yes. The official site lists G-Star TV, the show's own YouTube channel, as the online venue. Inven Global reports a "G-Star Premiere" broadcast on 18 November, the day before the doors open. A schedule of daily streams hasn't been published yet.
