“PlayStation continues to bring you exclusive games on PS4. Uncharted 4 continues to do very well and soon we will release GT Sports, the latest iteration of a long standing quality franchise that will delight many. Naturally gamers will be able to get play time on PS VR before its release and we are delighted that we will have a lineup of PS VR games at the show that haven’t been played in the region before.”
– Robert Fisser, VP & General Manager, Sony MEA.
Returning to the Dubai World Trade Centre, the 2016 edition will give guests much better access, with public transport options including the Dubai Metro, ample parking with world class facilities and great food and beverage options.
“Last year’s event attracted over 15,000 enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds and with even better and more diverse content on display, our vision is for GAMES Middle East to set a new benchmark. As the gaming industry grows and evolves with development and localization in various formats, including PC, console, mobile and table top, we’re very excited to see what’s next ourselves and to share that with the community here in the Middle East.”
