The fifth edition transforms Town Square into a Multiverse of Gaming Worlds with immersive gaming experiences, tournaments, cosplay, and family entertainment

Yas Mall is bringing back Yas Gaming Festival for its fifth edition from 31 July to 9 August 2026, transforming Town Square into the ultimate indoor gaming destination for 10 days of immersive entertainment, esports competitions, cosplay, simulators, and family fun.

Building on the success of the previous editions, this year’s festival introduces an entirely new concept, taking visitors beyond a traditional gaming setup into a fully immersive Multiverse of Gaming Worlds.

Open daily from 10AM to 10PM Sunday to Thursday and 10AM to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, the Gaming Arena invites gamers of all ages to discover dedicated zones featuring PlayStation, Xbox, PC Gaming, Nintendo Switch, Racing Simulators, Arcade Games, Air Hockey, and Interactive Games.

Visitors can access the Gaming Arena by spending a minimum of AED 50 at Yas Mall on the day of their visit, registering at the Gaming Arena with their same-day receipt, and collecting a Yas Gamers Wristband before entering the experience and signing up for tournaments. Competitive gamers can also take part in the festival’s esports tournaments across a range of popular titles.

Adding even more excitement to the festival is the highly anticipated Cosplay Competitions, taking place on Saturday 1 August and Saturday 8 August from 6:30PM to 9PM. Fans get to dress as their favourite gaming, anime, comic, or movie characters and take to the stage to compete in cosplay showcases and dance battles, with Aldar Gift Cards awarded to the top winners.

Throughout the festival, visitors will also have the chance to win Aldar Gift Cards, gaming merchandise, and exciting giveaways, making every visit an opportunity to play, compete, and take home fantastic prizes.

Whether you’re a seasoned gamer, an aspiring esports champion, a cosplay enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun family day out, Yas Gaming Festival 2026 promises an unforgettable experience, once again cementing Yas Mall as Abu Dhabi’s ultimate summer destination for entertainment and community experiences.
