You’re about to crush this level. 🕹️And by level, we mean the gauntlet of events that is Labor Day weekend in Seattle. But there’s only one weekend-long extravaganza where PNW gamers of all formats, genres and consoles come together to compete, commiserate and celebrate their love of gaming — PAX West.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll immerse yourself in gaming culture with exclusive panels, workshops, competitions and live concerts. In the words of PAX co-founder Jerry Holkins, “With a roster this stacked, it calls to mind an ancient name, a name of power. PAX Prime has returned.”
🎙️Take a seat in the expo hall or main theater to hear from gaming-industry giants like Nintendo of America, Capcom (Monster Hunter, Resident Evil), Larian Studios (Baldur’s Gate 3), Bandai Namco (Elden Ring: NIGHTREIGN) and Wizards of the Coast (Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering), to name just a few.
👓Peek into areas like PAX Arena for electrifying head-to-head competitions, PAX Together for queer and intersectional community highlights and PAX Rising Showcase to see a curated collection of impressive up-and-coming games.
🎲 Want to try out a game before you buy it? The freeplay areas range from handheld classics to recent PC releases, and tabletop gems from across the ages.
🖊️Snag an autograph from one of your favs (like Marvel Rivals voice actors Erik Braa, Mara Junot and Jordan Reynolds). More signing announcements are incoming and every first autograph is free!
⚔️ With over 2,500 games to play and four days of show, how many wins will you take home?
