The 2030 Games Almanac
A Collective Map of Futures for Games and Digital Culture
The 2030 Games Almanac is the central outcome of this year’s Games Executive Summit Europe. It is not a policy paper or an industry report, but a collective foresight document, written from the imagined vantage point of 2030 and tracing the paths that could have led us there.
Born from the conversations in Asturias, the Almanac captures the shared intelligence of GESE’s community of leaders, documenting the transformations, breakthroughs, and dilemmas that may define the decade ahead.
At its core, GESE is a journey of foresight: participants not only exchange views on today’s most pressing challenges, but also co-create a shared narrative of what lies ahead. This narrative takes form in the GESE Almanac 2030, a living document that captures the collective intelligence of the group and outlines potential futures for games and digital entertainment.
