Read our free eight-page Gamescom guide right here

Gamescom is almost upon us, and so MCV in association with Xbox One has put together an extensive guide to the show. And it’s absolutely free.

As well as maps of the halls and the location of all the exhibitors, our Gamescom 2013 guide features times of the conferences, hints and tips from industry experts, plus where you can find the best beer and German sausages.

You can download it for iPad (for free) via the MCV app here.

You can read it in your browser here.

Or download it as a PDF for your desktop or android device, right here.

Next week MCV will also be publishing daily issues at the show, which will be available for iPad and in your browser. The daily editions are published in association with Xbox One, and will be written by our crack editorial team on the ground in Cologne.

Of course you can also read all the latest news as it breaks on MCVuk.com.
