In a sector that often lives obsessed with the next big launch and the latest generation of graphics power, the RetroBarcelona fair has become a necessary space to stop and look back. The eleventh edition arrives at an exciting time for the Catalan ecosystem, as the three major events in the sector (SAGA, BCN Game Fest, and RetroBarcelona itself) have made their merger public. Despite the new shared direction, the Hospitalet event maintains its dates alone in May to demonstrate that classic video games are not just a matter of nostalgia, but a fundamental pillar of contemporary digital culture.

The benchmark event for classic video games returns with an edition with more space, more activities, and special guests to celebrate its 10th anniversary. After bringing together more than 6,000 attendees in the latest edition, the fair hopes to exceed this figure. The area used at the Farga is expanding to 6,000 m², to once again fill it with gaming points, tournaments, exhibitions, conferences, and much more. In fact, the fair is consolidating its position as an unmissable event for fans of the retro world and the Peninsula. The program is tailored to the general public as well as educational centers and families, and its objective is not only entertainment, but also promotes the dissemination of the history of video games and highlights their cultural value.
