This first-of-its-kind event brings together the PC gaming community. In a time where PC gaming is more affordable and more powerful than ever before, more games available through multiple streaming platforms, and millions regularly watching esports event, the PC Gaming Show is an opportunity for the industry and fans alike to come together and celebrate this era, and the innovations that lie ahead, says Future.
Hosted by Sean ‘Day[9]’ Plott, the first announced participants, who will be hosting live sessions, include Dean Hall (DayZ), Blizzard Entertainment, Cliff Bleszinski (Boss Key Productions) and Cloud Imperium Games (Star Citizen). It will be streamed live in partnership with Twitch from the Belasco Theater.
Tim Clark, Global Editor-in-Chief, PC Gamer, says, “We’re living in a golden age of PC gaming, but unlike other platforms the PC has no format holder, no marketing department, and - until now -no event at E3 purely devoted to it. We think a show like this, which brings together people from every corner of PC gaming to celebrate the exciting things happening, is long overdue. We hope you’ll join us, in person or on stream, to be part of it."
Matt Skynner, Corp. VP and General Manager, Computing and Graphics at AMD, says, “At AMD, our focus is on driving gaming innovation in all possible ways. The PC Gaming Show embodies the spirit of innovation, openness and community that's part of our DNA – delivered by gamers, for gamers. The time is right for a PC-focused event at E3 and we're honoured to be part of bringing the industry together."
Organised by PC Gamer, with support from Presenting Partner, AMD, the inaugural PC Gaming Show will see participation from a range of game developers, including Blizzard Entertainment, Bohemia Interactive, Cloud Imperium Games, Tripwire Interactive, Square-Enix, Obsidian Entertainment, Paradox Interactive and Humble Bundle among many others.
