DreamHack has locked in a major partnership for its upcoming Stockholm event, teaming up with Nintendo for the November festival.
Running from 28 to 30 November 2025, DreamHack Stockholm promises a huge weekend of esports and gaming, and Nintendo’s presence is set to be one of the big highlights. Fans heading to the festival can look forward to a dedicated Nintendo booth inside the expo area, giving them the chance to try out the company’s latest releases.
This isn’t Nintendo’s first trip to Sweden’s biggest gaming and esports festival. The company was part of DreamHack in 2024, but this year’s partnership cements an even stronger connection between the two brands.
At this stage, it hasn’t been confirmed if any Nintendo titles will get their own esports tournaments in Stockholm. However, DreamHack Atlanta 2025 is already hosting a one-versus-one Super Smash Bros. Ultimate competition with a $3,000 prize pool, so fans will be watching closely to see if Stockholm gets something similar.
Andreas Jernberg, Managing Director of Nordics at ESL FACEIT Group, said having Nintendo on board shows the strength of the event.
“Having such an iconic brand as Nintendo at DreamHack underlines the strength of our festival and the unique experiences we create for our community. We can’t wait to welcome thousands of fans to Stockholm for a weekend full of gaming, entertainment, and unforgettable moments.”
Nintendo’s presence will sit alongside some of the festival’s biggest competitive events. The OWCS World Finals 2025 are set to crown a world champion in Stockholm, while Embark Studios’ The Finals will host its first ever Major. Sixteen teams will battle it out for a slice of the $100,000 prize pool.
Nintendo has also been making more moves in the esports scene this year, including a recent partnership with the Interstate Scholastic Esports Alliance in the US to bring competitive gaming opportunities to more students.
DreamHack Stockholm 2025 is shaping up to be one of the standout events on the esports calendar, and Nintendo’s booth will no doubt be a major drawcard for festival-goers.
