Some more details about the upcoming Gamescom 2013 convention have appeared, this time confirming that attendants will be able to get hands-on experiences with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One next-gen consoles, and that Valve will be present at the expo, although only for business associates.

Gamescom 2013 is set to be one of the biggest gaming conventions of the year as hundreds of thousands of gamers flock to Cologne, Germany each August to attend it.

This year, according to a press release via NeoGAF, visitors will be able to try out the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles on the show floor.

What's more, Valve will also attend the event, although its stand is only for business associates.

The studio will, however, power a special rotating carpet that gives the sensation to visitors that they're surfing. The special "Gamescom wave powered by Valve" exhibit will be found on the beach area of the convention.
