This is an incredible time for PC gaming, with more powerful and
affordable hardware than ever before, thousands of games available
through Steam, Origin and other platforms, and millions of viewers
regularly watching esports events. The PC Gaming Show is a call to
the PC community to come together to celebrate this era, and the
innovations that lie ahead.
"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," said Matt
Skynner, Corp. VP & General Manager, Computing and
Graphics at AMD. "The time is right for a PC-focused event in the
week of E3 and we're honored to be part of bringing the industry
together."
Organized by PC Gamer, with support from Presenting Partner, AMD
(NASDAQ: 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.
"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 during E3 week purely devoted to it," said
Tim Clark, Global Editor-in-Chief,
PC Gamer. "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."
