Netgem is heading to Gamescom 2026 in Cologne from August 26 to 30 to meet game publishers and expand the relationships behind PLEIO’s cloud gaming catalogue. The company plans to meet with publishers already involved with the service while introducing PLEIO to new partners interested in reaching more audiences through cloud gaming.
Those conversations fit the direction Netgem has taken with PLEIO over the past several months. Agreements with Untold Tales and Outright Games have already brought several games to the service, giving Netgem clear examples of how publisher relationships can strengthen its catalogue across different markets.
Netgem Plans Publisher Meetings At Gamescom 2026
Netgem is using its time at Gamescom to meet with publishers already connected to PLEIO and introduce the service to potential new partners attending the event.
Gamescom brings developers, publishers, platform companies, and other parts of the gaming industry together in Cologne each year. For Netgem, that creates an opportunity to explain how PLEIO can bring games to audiences through telecom operators and their home-entertainment services.
Netgem hasn’t announced any new publisher deals or game additions ahead of Gamescom, and it hasn’t said who it plans to sit down with in Cologne. For now, the trip is about opening more conversations that could eventually bring additional games to PLEIO.
Recent Publisher Deals Have Expanded PLEIO’s Catalogue
Netgem has already used publisher partnerships to add groups of games to PLEIO.
An agreement with Untold Tales added five games to PLEIO across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Netgem later partnered with Outright Games, bringing family-focused games tied to recognizable entertainment brands into the service.
Together, those deals offer a clear example of what new publisher relationships can mean for PLEIO. Each agreement can add several games while giving a publisher another way to reach households through Netgem’s operator partners.
Gamescom won’t guarantee another deal, but it gives Netgem a chance to continue those conversations in one place with publishers from across the industry.
Gamescom Fits Netgem’s Operator-Led Cloud Gaming Strategy
PLEIO is distributed through telecom operators as part of a wider home-entertainment offering. The model connects two parts of the service’s growth. Operator relationships bring PLEIO into households, while publisher agreements keep its game catalogue growing.
Netgem has continued expanding PLEIO through operator launches and game agreements. A larger catalogue can make the service more useful to existing partners, while a broader operator footprint can give publishers access to additional audiences.
Netgem’s Gamescom plans don’t promise any announcements, so there may not be immediate news from its meetings in Cologne. Still, the purpose of the trip is clear. The company is heading to Gamescom to strengthen the publisher side of PLEIO and look for relationships that could shape its next catalogue additions.
