The Berlin Computerspielemuseum faces logistical and financial shifts regarding its long-term operations. Due to a funding omission in the Berlin Senate’s 2025 budget report, the museum will not relocate to the planned House of Games complex. Instead, it will remain at its current site on Karl-Marx-Allee, where it has been located since 2011.

In response to its evolving needs, the museum has partnered with the PR and marketing agency united communications to support fundraising efforts. This initiative aims to build a new circle of supporters to help secure the creative heritage of digital gaming culture and preserve obsolete hardware and software for future generations.
