Gamescom 2016 had 345,000 visitors

Visitors from 97 countries, and 877 companies exhibited their wares.

The festivities at Gamescom in Cologne ended yesterday and as usual an array of impressive numbers can be reported in its wake.

A total of 345,000 people visited the Koeln Messe over 5 days (same as last year), including 30,500 trade visitors (slightly less than 2015). The visitors originated from 97 different countries. A total of 877 companies exhibited at the show (from 54 countries), and a total of 500,000 visited Cologne as a result of Gamescom (there's an open festival inside the city that's also part of this).

Sounds like a successful show even with increased security measures, and fewer major announcements than usual.

Gamescom 2017 will take place between August 22-26, 2017.
