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

Exciting news from AWE USA 2025! They’ve launched a new Gaming Hub program that broadens the event’s focus to proudly include XR game development and publishing.

For those of us deeply embedded in the industry, AWE USA is the can’t-miss XR event every year. This time around, it’s set for June 10-12 in Long Beach, CA. Heads up, the deadline to snag the lowest-priced tickets is March 13. As the event’s Premier Media Partner, we’re thrilled to offer an exclusive 20% discount on event tickets.

Traditionally zeroed in on the enterprise side of the XR scene, AWE USA is now shifting gears. The latest iteration expands to put a spotlight on consumer XR game development and publishing.

The new AWE Gaming Hub is a visionary initiative. It’s designed to boost and fast-track the success of XR game creators, developers, and studios. This program brings together the movers and shakers of the XR gaming landscape, from innovative game developers and content creators to the media, publishers, and investors. Whether you’re an experienced XR developer ready to level up or a newcomer gearing up to launch your first immersive experience, the AWE Gaming Hub offers crucial connections, resources, and vital industry exposure.

We’ve got some fantastic XR gaming companies confirmed for AWE USA 2025, like Another Axiom, the minds behind Gorilla Tag, Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

Audiences can also look forward to hearing from Jason Rubin, VP of Metaverse Experiences and co-founder of Naughty Dog, who will grace the main stage. Plus, a host of content creators, including Cas & Chary, JayBratt, and Gingas VR, to name a few, will lend their voices to the Gaming Hub. There’s also an engaging lineup of publishers and investors ready for speed networking and thought-provoking discussions.

The Gaming Hub expands the programming slate, promising sessions, workshops, and panels thoughtfully curated for game developers. Expect deep dives into XR development, funding, distribution, and scaling. Check out the Gaming Hub track for all the details.

One of the standout sessions includes the ‘XR Games Marketing 101’ panel. Here, five industry veterans—including our very own Ben Lang—will share actionable insights on reaching gamers effectively.
