RES – Rome Electronic Sport

RES, where digital meets sport in Rome

RES – Rome Electronic Sport is a festival dedicated to the world of electronic sports and immersive technologies, organized in Rome by the Fusolab association with the support of Roma Capitale – Department of Sport. The event transforms the Alessandrino district, in the eastern suburbs of the city, into a vast laboratory for gaming and digital wellness, involving multiple local venues: Fusolab 2.0, the Danz!amo and Metabolica spaces, and the Casilino Shopping Center.

A multidisciplinary festival

RES was born from the idea that video games and technology can become tools for social interaction, sport, and culture. The festival offers a journey where the real and virtual worlds meet: from eSports tournaments on the most popular titles to virtual and augmented reality experiences, and driving and flight simulators that let you feel the adrenaline of competition without leaving your seat.

What to find at RES

• eSports tournaments open to players of all levels, featuring sports and dance titles.
• Virtual reality experiences: rowing, cycling, total body circuits, HIIT workouts, penalty kicks, mini-golf, and immersive mindfulness sessions.
• Driving and flight simulators with time trials and hot laps.
• Laser game arena and retrogaming stations with the consoles that made history.
• Game Vintage Market, the market dedicated to video game collecting with dozens of exhibitors.

The Game Vintage Market

The commercial and nostalgic heart of the festival, the Game Vintage Market brings together exhibitors from all over Italy with retro games, board games, action figures, video games, Funko Pops, manga, comics, and Pokémon and Magic trading cards. It is a great opportunity to buy, trade, and complete your collection while immersed in the atmosphere of gaming past and present. Street food is also available, provided by Fucina Alessandrina.

An event for the city

Free and open to everyone, RES is designed for families, young people, enthusiasts, and the simply curious. The event represents one of the key appointments in the Lazio region for digital culture and electronic sports, blending fun, innovation, and a focus on wellness. Thanks to easy access via the metro and ample parking, RES has established itself in just a few editions as a premier gaming showcase in the Municipality of Rome.
