It’s official—some of the XR gaming giants already on board for AWE USA 2025 include Another Axiom, known for Gorilla Tag, plus Resolution Games, Mighty Coconut, Sinn Studio, Kluge Interactive, Flat2VR, and LIV.

Alongside him, a slew of content creators will animate the Gaming Hub, including names like Cas & Chary, JayBratt, Matteo, Mack Falconer, TribeGreywolf, AtomBombBody, Techman Prime, and Gingas VR. Not to forget, publishers and investors will be engaging in dynamic networking and discussions as well.
