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

AWE USA 2025 is stepping up its game with the launch of an exciting initiative called the Gaming Hub, which broadens the event’s horizons to include the intriguing world of XR game development and publication.

Among the sea of industry events, AWE USA has firmly established itself as our can’t-miss XR event of the year. Set against the scenic backdrop of Long Beach, CA, this year’s event runs from June 10-12. If you’re planning to attend, mark March 13th on your calendar because that’s the last day for grabbing the best-priced tickets! As this year’s Premier Media Partner, we’re thrilled to offer an exclusive 20% discount on your tickets to make the deal even sweeter.

Traditionally, AWE USA has zeroed in on the enterprise segment of the XR landscape, with dashes of consumer-focused content. However, this time around, a new spotlight shines brightly on developing and publishing XR games for consumers.

The AWE Gaming Hub is a dedicated space at AWE USA crafted to turbocharge XR game developers, studios, and creators. It’s a melting pot bringing together the visionaries of the XR gaming world—from game developers and content creators to media experts, publishers, and investors. Whether you’re an established XR developer looking to step up or just starting to create your first immersive masterpiece, the AWE Gaming Hub offers you the connections, resources, and industry visibility you need.

An impressive lineup of XR gaming companies have already RSVP’d for AWE USA 2025, including notables like Another Axiom (famed for Gorilla Tag), Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

Jason Rubin, the VP of Metaverse Experiences and co-founder of Naughty Dog, will take to the main stage. Joining him will be an array of content creators in the Gaming Hub, such as Cas & Chary, JayBratt, Matteo, Mack Falconer, TribeGreywolf, AtomBombBody, Techman Prime, and Gingas VR. Publishers and investors will also dive into speed networking and engaging discussions.

The introduction of the Gaming Hub brings a richer tapestry of event programming, spanning sessions, workshops, and panel discussions tailored to game developers. These will unveil fresh perspectives on XR development, funding, distribution strategies, and scaling your ideas. For specifics, take a look at the event’s Gaming Hub track.

One session to mark on your calendar is the ‘XR Games Marketing 101’ panel. Featuring industry stalwarts, including Road to VR co-founder Ben Lang, this discussion promises hands-on insights into capturing the attention of game customers.
