Xbox is giving fans another shot at attending one of gaming’s biggest events this year. The company has opened registrations for its Gamescom 2026 FanFest sweepstakes, but the deadline is now just days away.

Xbox fans can still enter before August 2

Eligible fans have until August 2 to enter the Xbox FanFest sweepstakes for a chance to win two tickets to the community event in Cologne, Germany (fill form here). Winners can bring a friend and join Xbox’s in-person celebration during Gamescom.

The giveaway is open to residents of Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States who are at least 18 years old. No purchase is required to enter, although Xbox notes that travel and accommodation are not included.

That said, Xbox FanFest has become one of the company’s biggest community events. It brings together players, creators, developers, and Xbox fans through exclusive activities and celebrations alongside major gaming showcases.

Part of Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebrations

This year’s FanFest tour is also part of Xbox’s 25th anniversary celebrations. Following its kickoff during Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, the event is making stops across several countries, including Australia, Canada, England, Japan, Mexico, Germany, and another event in the United States.

Gamescom 2026 is expected to be one of Xbox’s biggest showcases of the year. The company has already confirmed livestreams from its show floor on August 26 and August 27, allowing fans worldwide to follow the announcements even if they don’t attend in person.

If you’ve been hoping to experience Gamescom with Xbox, the registration window is quickly closing. After August 2, fans will have to wait and see who secures the limited FanFest invitations.
