House of Games

House of Games

A central hub in the capital to strengthen the games industry in Berlin-Brandenburg and across Germany – that is the core mission of the House of Games Berlin.

Spanning over 10,000 square meters, the space will become home to companies and institutions from across the entire games ecosystem, located right on Warschauer Straße in the heart of Berlin. Supported and kick-started with funding from the Berlin state government, the project is set to open in 2026.

Steering committee and tenants

Since early 2022, the project has been guided by a steering committee consisting of:

  • medianet berlinbrandenburg e.V. as the project’s lead coordinator and regional industry association for games and creative technologies
  • game – The German Games Industry Association as the national representative of the sector
  • Ubisoft, game developer and publisher, as anchor tenant
  • WISTA Management GmbH, on behalf of the State of Berlin, as the property operator

Among the first prospective tenants are: the International Computer Games Collection, Stiftung Digitale Spielekultur, USK, Saftladen, Wooga, Com2uS, Flow Fire Games, INSTINCT3, TakeTV, Anteater Games, Torpor Games, Factory C, and Games Forest Club.

What exactly is the House of Games Berlin?

Covering more than 10,000 square meters in a central location in the German capital, the House of Games Berlin is taking shape as a new hub for the industry. It will offer a wide range of spaces for:

  • Companies and institutions from the games sector
  • Co-working environments
  • Multifunctional shared spaces
  • Services in areas such as technology and development
  • Culture and research
  • Events, conferences, and exhibitions focused on games and esports

With a focus on interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, collaboration, access to networks, funding, projects, and shared facilities for events and meetings, the House of Games Berlin aims to become a pioneering space for work, development, and business — one that fosters innovation and synergy across the ecosystem.

The Location

The future home of the House of Games Berlin will be located in the LUX building. Starting in 2026, more than 10,000 square meters at this central Berlin site on Rotherstraße 8–11 — directly adjacent to the Warschauer Straße S- and U-Bahn station — will host numerous companies from the national and international games ecosystem, with both private and shared spaces.

Situated within a historically significant yet state-of-the-art building complex, the necessary interior construction for the House of Games Berlin will begin shortly. The property is currently in the shell construction phase.

Voices on the project

Berlins Regierender Bürgermeister Kai Wegner

“With the House of Games, we are building something special in Belin: a location for companies, developers and startups from the games scene. Already today, the games industry is an important economic factor for Berlin – with around 250 million euro annual revenue and more than 3,000 employees. I am certain that the House of Games Berlin will become a home for established companies, developers and founders from Germany, as well as from all over the world. In this central location, everything comes together: history, modern infrastructure, creativity. It is the perfect mixture for innovation, exchange and development.”

Kai Wegner, Governing Mayor of Berlin

Franziska Giffey

“With the House of Games, Berlin becomes the first point of contact for the games industry in Germany. The games industry, next to fin tech, green tech and health tech, has been an important accelerator for innovation, digitalization and economic growth in Berlin. Therefore, it is the declared goal of our economic policy, to further extend this dynamic sector in our city. During last year alone, we provided over six million euro of state funding for the games industry, as well as for million euro for the visual effects sector. We want to keep up this level in the upcoming two-year budget plan. We also plead for more games funding on a national level. Our message to games companies, studios, startups and developers is clear: We see you, and we want you in Berlin! With the House of Games, you will now get a real home in Berlin, supporting networking, funding and visibility. This project is another step on our way to become the number one location for innovation in Europe.”

Franziska Giffey, Mayor and Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises
