The Berlin Senate Administration for Economy, Energy and Operations is providing Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg with an additional €1 million (~$1.2 million) for games and immersive media funding in 2026. Senator Franziska Giffey, State Secretary Michael Biel and Medienboard managing director Helge Jurgens announced the boost at the Medienboard Sundowner. The extra funds respond to demand that has "long exceeded the resources available" for games promotion, with support going to development, VR projects and events including Games Ground and A MAZE festivals.
