Free "Cybersaturday" in Moscow to unite K-pop, PUBG, and Russian gamedev

Guests can expect dance battles, playtests, Asian cuisine, and cyber tournaments

On May 23, the Moscow Video Game and Animation Cluster will host the fourth "Cybersaturday," dedicated to Korean pop culture. K-pop, video games, esports, dance shows, and Asian gastronomy will be brought together on one platform.

The festival is named "K-pop-Cybersaturday." Its goal is to introduce guests to modern Korean and Russian pop culture through music, games, dance, and interactive activities, as well as to showcase projects by domestic developers.

Visitors will find playtest zones with games from cluster residents, participants of the "Video Game Factory," and projects supported by the Internet Development Institute. Guests will be able to test industry novelties, including exclusive demo versions, and communicate directly with developers.

Simultaneously, esports tournaments for PUBG and Escape from Tarkov will be held at the venue. The program also includes performances by Korean and Russian music groups, dance battles, themed markets, and gastronomic zones.

Admission to the festival will be free, but pre-registration on the website will be required.

The Moscow Video Game and Animation Cluster opened at the end of 2025 and became the first space in Russia to unite gaming and animation studios. Its infrastructure includes a mocap studio, a recording studio, exhibition spaces, a co-working area, conference rooms, and the country's largest media screen, covering 800 square meters.

The "Cybersaturday" project launched in February 2026 as a series of free thematic events for a wide audience and professionals in the gaming industry.
