AWE Broadens Scope to Include XR Game Developers & Publishers at Key Industry Event

AWE USA 2025 is shaking things up with the introduction of a new Gaming Hub program, expanding the event to dive deeper into XR game development and publishing.

For those of us deep into the gaming scene, AWE USA is quickly becoming the XR event of the year that you can’t afford to skip. This year, mark your calendars for June 10–12, as the event heads to Long Beach, CA. And here’s a little insider tip: The best time to snag affordable tickets is by March 13th! Plus, as the event’s Premier Media Partner, we’re excited to offer a special 20% discount on the ticket prices.

Historically, AWE USA has zeroed in on the enterprise side of XR, while sprinkling in some consumer-focused elements. But this year, the event is raising the stakes by spotlighting consumer XR game development and publishing.

The AWE Gaming Hub is a big deal—it’s a dedicated space that’s crafted to boost and fast-track the triumphs of XR game creators, developers, and studios. This program brings together everyone who is anyone in the XR gaming scene—think innovative game developers, creative content creators, and influential media, publishers, and investors. Whether you’re a seasoned XR developer looking to elevate your game or a budding creator about to roll out your first immersive adventure, the AWE Gaming Hub is where you’ll find the connections, resources, and industry spotlight you need.

Several exciting XR gaming companies are already on board for AWE USA 2025, including names like Another Axiom, renowned for Gorilla Tag, Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

And if you’re a fan of influential voices in the gaming world, you’re in for a treat. Jason Rubin, VP of Metaverse Experiences and Co-Founder of Naughty Dog, will take to the main stage. Plus, the Gaming Hub will see participation from a diverse group of content creators such as Cas & Chary, JayBratt, Matteo, Mack Falconer, TribeGreywolf, AtomBombBody, Techman Prime, and Gingas VR. Publishers and investors will also be engaging in quick networking sessions and dynamic discussions.

The Gaming Hub’s launch also means there will be an enriched event schedule, packed with sessions, hands-on workshops, and panels specifically geared towards game developers. These sessions will offer fresh takeaways on XR development, securing funds, distribution, and expanding your reach. Be sure to check out the Gaming Hub track for all the details.

One session not to miss is the ‘XR Games Marketing 101’ panel. Five industry veterans, including Road to VR’s co-founder Ben Lang, will share actionable insights on how to effectively market games to audiences.

If attending AWE USA piques your interest, remember this: don’t miss out on the best ticket prices, available until March 13th, along with our special 20% discount!
