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

AWE USA 2025 is shaking things up with an exciting new addition to their lineup—a Gaming Hub program that broadens their event to dive into XR game development and publishing.

For those in the industry, AWE USA is the go-to XR event every year. This time, it’s set for June 10–12 in Long Beach, CA. If you’re planning to attend, make a note that March 13th is your deadline to snag the best ticket deals. Plus, we’ve got a nifty 20% discount for you as our media partner special.

Historically, AWE USA has mostly spotlighted the enterprise side of XR, with a touch of consumer interest. But this year, they’re ramping up their commitment to consumer XR games with a brand-new focus on development and publishing in that arena.

Enter the AWE Gaming Hub! Tailored for XR game creators, developers, and studios, it’s a powerhouse platform designed to turbocharge success. It’s all about building connections among key XR gaming players—from visionary developers and content creators to media, publishers, and investors. So whether you’re already a heavyweight in XR development or just starting your journey to create your first immersive experience, the Gaming Hub is your go-to for connections, resources, and industry visibility.

Several innovative XR gaming companies have already jumped on board for AWE USA 2025. Expect to see Another Axiom (known for Gorilla Tag), along with Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

We’re in for a treat with Jason Rubin, VP of Metaverse Experiences and co-founder of Naughty Dog, since he’ll be speaking on the main stage. There’s also a lineup of content creators slated for the Gaming Hub, like Cas & Chary, JayBratt, Matteo, Mack Falconer, TribeGreywolf, AtomBombBody, Techman Prime, and Gingas VR. Plus, get ready for some fast-paced networking and insightful talks with publishers and investors.

The Gaming Hub is also boosting event programming with sessions, workshops, and panel discussions geared toward game developers. You’ll dive into fresh insights on XR development, funding, distribution, and scaling. For particulars, make sure you check the event’s Gaming Hub track.

One standout session is the ‘XR Games Marketing 101’ panel, featuring five XR industry pros, including Road to VR co-founder Ben Lang, sharing hands-on advice about marketing games to your audiences.

If joining AWE USA sounds exciting—and let’s face it, it totally does—remember that your chance to grab those affordable tickets ends on March 13th. And don’t forget the exclusive 20% discount we’re thrilled to offer you.

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