Beijing 2008 is the upcoming official Olympic video game of the 2008 Summer Olympics to be held in Beijing. Developed by Eurocom and published by Sega, the game will be the second video game based on the 2008 Summer Olympics to be released, the first being the fantasy-based Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games which appeared in late 2007. However, Beijing 2008 will be a realistic sports simulation.^[1]

Beijing 2008 will feature 32 national teams and 38 events.^[2] In addition, a career mode similar to that seen in Sydney 2000 is set to return, and for the first time in Olympic video games, an online mode will be included.
