Stunfest 2026 (Rennes)
Rennes' festival of video game culture returns to Le 360 from 23 to 25 October 2026 with Smash Bros Ultimate and Street Fighter tournaments, speedruns, indie games and freeplay.
Stunfest is a video game culture festival in Rennes, run by the non-profit association 3 Hit Combo. The 2026 edition takes place from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October at Le 360 in Rennes, France, and is also streamed on Twitch. This year's theme is "Preserve", which runs through the conference programme.
The festival mixes competitive play with a relaxed, hands-on atmosphere. Announced tournaments include a GeoGuessr micro-tournament on Friday, a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament and an Ultra Street Fighter IV micro-tournament on Saturday, and a multigaming micro-tournament on Sunday. Speedrunners can watch Dark Souls II (All Bosses, No DLC) and Sly Cooper (Any%, TAS) runs on Sunday or join daily speedrun initiation sessions.
There is also a large indie and amateur games area where visitors can play new titles with the people who made them, plus freeplay stations such as Trombone Champ and ten-player Bomberman, all included in the entry pass. Friday also has a dedicated pass for industry professionals.
Tickets work on a pay-what-you-can model with suggested and supporter prices: an adult day ticket is suggested at 14 euros (7 euros for children, on site only), and a three-day pass starts at 42 euros online. A good fit for fighting game players, speedrun fans and anyone who likes indie games and community-run events.
