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

AWE USA 2025 is turning heads with the introduction of its innovative Gaming Hub program, which broadens the event’s horizons to dive deep into XR game development and publishing.

Among the many industry gatherings, AWE USA stands out as the XR highlight of the year. This annual spectacle is set for June 10-12 in the sunny locale of Long Beach, California. Just a heads-up for all the early birds out there: the chance to snag the best-priced tickets wraps up on March 13th! As the Premier Media Partner for this year’s extravaganza, we’re thrilled to extend an exclusive 20% discount on tickets to our audience.

Historically, AWE USA has angled its spotlight more on the enterprise sector of the XR scene, with sprinkles of consumer interest. However, this year’s edition is shaking things up by making a significant leap towards consumer-focused XR game development and publishing.

The star attraction is undoubtedly the AWE Gaming Hub—an exclusive platform crafted to fuel and fast-track the journeys of XR game creators, developers, and studios. This initiative is bringing together the key players that drive the XR gaming sector, from visionary developers and content creators to media, publishers, and investors. Whether you’re a seasoned XR developer ready to take the next step or a newcomer excited to launch your first immersive adventure, the AWE Gaming Hub is your gateway to connections, resources, and that much-needed industry buzz.

A few names in the XR gaming realm have already confirmed their presence at AWE USA 2025. Expect to see industry titans like Another Axiom—the masterminds behind Gorilla Tag, Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

We’re also in for a treat with Jason Rubin, the VP of Metaverse Experiences and Co-Founder of Naughty Dog, making an appearance on the main stage. Joining him in the Gaming Hub are a diverse lineup of content creators, including the likes of Cas & Chary, JayBratt, Matteo, Mack Falconer, TribeGreywolf, AtomBombBody, Techman Prime, and Gingas VR. In the mix, you’ll also find publishers and investors engaging in speed networking and dynamic discussions.

But that’s not all—the Gaming Hub is rolling out expanded programming. Dive into a plethora of sessions, workshops, and panel discussions crafted specifically for game developers. These will unlock fresh perspectives on XR development, funding, distribution, and growth scaling. Be sure to check out the event’s Gaming Hub track for all the juicy details.

One of the standout sessions is ‘XR Games Marketing 101,’ featuring insights from five XR veterans, including Road to VR co-founder Ben Lang. Here, you’ll pick up invaluable tips on effectively marketing games to eager audiences.

For those intrigued by AWE USA, make sure you grab your chance for the most economical tickets before March 13th—and don’t forget our exclusive 20% discount offer.
