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

AWE USA 2025 is set to expand its horizons with the introduction of a new Gaming Hub program, emphasizing the development and publishing of XR games.

When it comes to industry events, AWE USA has truly become an unmissable occasion for those involved in XR each year. This time around, it’s happening from June 10 to June 12 in Long Beach, CA. If you’re planning to attend, make sure to grab your tickets by March 13th for the best price. And as a little bonus, we’re offering an exclusive 20% discount on event tickets as this year’s Premier Media Partner.

Traditionally, AWE USA has put the spotlight on the enterprise segment of the XR sector, though it also catered somewhat to consumers. But now, the event is branching out with a renewed emphasis on the world of consumer XR game development and publishing.

The AWE Gaming Hub will act as a dedicated space and a vibrant program, aiming to boost the success of XR game developers, creators, and studios. This initiative brings together influential voices in the XR gaming scene—from innovative game developers and creative content producers to media, publishers, and investors. If you’re an experienced XR developer seeking to elevate your game, or a newcomer gearing up for your first immersive launch, the AWE Gaming Hub is where you can find valuable connections, resources, and prime industry exposure.

We’re excited to have some prominent XR gaming companies on board for AWE USA 2025. Expect names like Another Axiom (the force behind Gorilla Tag), Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

Onstage, Jason Rubin, VP of Metaverse Experiences and co-founder of Naughty Dog, will share his insights. Meanwhile, you’ll find a diverse group of content creators contributing to the Gaming Hub, including personalities like Cas & Chary, JayBratt, Matteo, Mack Falconer, TribeGreywolf, AtomBombBody, Techman Prime, and Gingas VR. There will also be opportunities for publishers and investors to engage in speed networking and in-depth discussions.

This invigorated Gaming Hub promises an enriched program, complete with tailored sessions, hands-on workshops, and panels specifically designed for game developers. These will cover a myriad of topics like XR development, securing funding, navigating distribution channels, and effective scaling. Make sure to explore the Gaming Hub track for all the details.

Among the lineup is the intriguing ‘XR Games Marketing 101′ panel. Five experienced veterans from the XR industry, including Ben Lang, co-founder of Road to VR, will dive into practical strategies for capturing customers’ attention.

If you don’t want to miss out on AWE USA, remember the deadline for the most budget-friendly tickets is March 13th. And remember, you can enjoy a 20% discount thanks to our special offer.

We’re thrilled to be the Premier Media Partner for AWE USA 2025, and we’re excited to see you there!
