The stage is all set for Philippine Game Show 2025 (PGS 2025), the country's biggest celebration of gaming, cosplay, and music, happening on November 14-16, 2025 at the SMX Convention Center Aura in Taguig City. Organized by MQLive and CBZN Perspective, Philippine Game Show is a three-day convention that promises an unparalleled experience for fans of gaming, pop culture, and live entertainment. PGS will bring together the biggest names in cosplay, international performers, gaming competitions, and interactive showcases, making it one of the most anticipated events of the year.
During the official media conference held last October 21, 2025 in Ortigas, MediaQuest Holdings Inc. President and CEO Jane Jimenez-Basas shared how the event aligns with the company’s mission of connecting Filipinos through meaningful content, stating, “MediaQuest’s mission has always been to joyfully connect Filipinos through content that not only entertains, educates, and informs, but content that truly resonates with the heart and creativity of the Filipino people.” She added that the Philippine Game Show marks a bold new chapter in that pursuit, stating, “Today, we take that mission to an entirely new level. We are incredibly excited to introduce Philippine Game Show. PGS is our celebration of Filipino artistry, ingenuity, and the powerful spirit of our Pinoy cosplay, music, and gaming communities.”
Activities And Competitions
At the heart of Philippine Game Show lies an exciting lineup of competitions and stage activities that celebrate the very best of gaming, cosplay, and music culture. Fans can look forward to the PGS Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Tournament. As the country’s most popular mobile eSports title, MLBB continues to unite communities and spark rivalries across the nation. The stakes are higher than ever as the tournament’s winning team will earn the rare opportunity to face off against Team SIBOL, the Philippines’ official national eSports team. Fighting game enthusiasts will also witness intense battles in the PGS Tekken 8 Tournament where skilled competitors will unleash their best combos, strategies, and reflexes in pursuit of supremacy on the main stage. Music meets gaming with Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage! (Proseka) Showdown, a fan-favorite rhythm game that celebrates music and creativity. Players can test their rhythm, connect with fellow fans, and immerse themselves in the vibrant world of J-pop and virtual idols. Beyond gaming, Philippine Game Show celebrates the creative pulse of the community with a diverse array of cosplay and music competitions that highlight artistry, storytelling, and performance. Among the key activities are AniMelody Star where anime and music performances come to life in harmony; Cosplay Champions, the premier competition for craftsmanship and stage excellence; Cosplay Talent Showcase, a spotlight for rising stars in the cosplay scene; and The Ultimate Idol, a celebration of vocal talent and performance energy. The excitement reaches its peak with the World Cosplay Summit Philippines 2026 Finals where the country’s top cosplayers will battle for the honor of representing the Philippines at World Cosplay Summit 2026. Together, these activities cement Philippine Game Show as a diverse hub for gamers, cosplayers, and artists — a place where passion, performance, and play unite.
