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

AWE USA 2025 is shaking things up with the introduction of a new Gaming Hub program, broadening its scope to embrace XR game development and publishing.

If there’s one event in the XR calendar that should not be missed, it’s AWE USA, and this year, it’s set from June 10th to 12th in sunny Long Beach, CA. A heads-up for bargain hunters: The last opportunity to snag the cheapest tickets is on March 13th! As the Premier Media Partner, we’re thrilled to offer an exclusive 20% discount for those eager to join.

Traditionally, AWE USA has pivoted towards the enterprise side of the XR market, with some consumer interactions sprinkled in. However, this year’s event is taking a new direction by spotlighting consumer XR game development and publishing.

The AWE Gaming Hub at AWE USA establishes a dedicated space to foster and speed up the success of XR game innovators, creators, and studios. This initiative brings together the industry’s big players—imaginative game developers, content creators, media folks, publishers, and investors—who are steering the XR gaming landscape. Whether you’re a seasoned developer hoping to enhance your craft or a newcomer eager to launch your first immersive creation, the AWE Gaming Hub offers crucial connections, resources, and visibility in the industry.

Already confirmed to join AWE USA 2025 are some thrilling XR gaming companies, including Another Axiom (behind Gorilla Tag), Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

Look forward to engaging presentations from Jason Rubin, VP of Metaverse Experiences and Co-Founder of Naughty Dog, gracing the main stage. Plus, a collection of content creators such as Cas & Chary, JayBratt, Matteo, Mack Falconer, TribeGreywolf, AtomBombBody, Techman Prime, and Gingas VR will be part of the Gaming Hub action. You’ll also find publishers and investors ready for speed-networking opportunities and lively discussions.

With the Gaming Hub comes an enriched schedule overflowing with sessions, workshops, and panel discussions crafted especially for game developers. These will offer fresh perspectives on XR development, funding, distribution, and scaling. Keep an eye out for details on the event’s Gaming Hub track.

One panel to put on your radar is ‘XR Games Marketing 101,’ featuring five seasoned veterans in the field, including Road to VR’s co-founder Ben Lang, ready to dish out valuable tips on positioning games in front of eager customers.

For those interested in attending AWE USA, don’t miss out on your chance to grab those bargain tickets before the March 13th deadline—and remember our special 20% discount.

Road to VR is delighted to serve as the Premier Media Partner for AWE USA 2025.
