SINGAPORE, Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GCL Global Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq: GCL) (“GCL” or the “Company”), a leading provider of games and entertainment, today announced that its publishing subsidiary, 4Divinity Pte. Ltd. (“4Divinity”), is collaborating with XPG – XTREME PERFORMANCE GEAR, the gaming brand of ADATA at gamescom 2026. XPG will be the Premier Sponsor of 4Divinity’s gamescom 2026 showcase, which will run August 26 to 30 across three halls in Cologne.
The sponsorship marks XPG’s gamescom debut and pairs two businesses approaching the same audience from opposite ends of the industry: a publisher building a global portfolio of original IP and a hardware brand rooted in the gaming and esports community. It also reflects the broader GCL vision to unite content and hardware within a single ecosystem.
“gamescom is one of the defining stages for the global gaming industry, and the XPG partnership spotlights the strength of GCL’s integrated model for that audience," said Sebastian Toke, Group CEO of GCL. "By bringing XPG’s expertise in gaming hardware and esports together with 4Divinity’s growing portfolio of original IP, we’re creating a more connected experience for players, partners, and the broader gaming community. This is exactly the kind of cross-platform opportunity our business model is designed to enable.”
At gamescom
XPG's presence runs the length of 4Divinity's footprint at gamescom. On the consumer show floor, XPG products will appear alongside four of the six showcase titles, led by three of the brand's best-selling chassis in Europe: the INVADER X BTF, STARKER AIR BTF and VALOR AIR PLUS. In the business area, dedicated display cases and peripherals sit alongside the publisher's meeting space, including the show debut of XPG mousepads featuring XPG brand ambassadors. A full XPG rig also runs in 4Divinity's presentation room, where the publisher hosts media, creator and partner appointments with more than 200 members of the world's press expected during the week.
For players
Visitors can earn points through activities at the 4Divinity booth for the chance to win exclusive XPG hardware prizes. A joint post-event online campaign will run across both brands' channels, offering free digital game keys for newly released titles. Updates via XPG's official channel, @xpg_global.
