Get ready, Seattle—PAX West 2025 is officially locked in for Labor Day Weekend, and the newly revealed exhibitor list is stacked with some of the biggest names in gaming. From Nintendo and Capcom to Bandai Namco and Square Enix, more than 200 companies will be taking over the show floor from Friday, August 29 through Monday, September 1.
Announced today by co-show organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade, this year’s event is shaping up to be one of the most packed and diverse yet. Joining the industry giants are Gearbox, Escape From Tarkov, Arc System Works, Wizards of the Coast, Pearl Abyss (Crimson Desert), Larian Studios, and The Behemoth—just to name a few.
Indies, Tabletop, Hardware & More
It’s not all AAA, either. Indie favorites like Ysbryd Games, Limited Run Games, and System Era will be back to showcase their upcoming titles. Tabletop and analog fans can look forward to Dice Throne, Cephalofair (Gloomhaven), and Chooseco (Choose Your Own Adventure), while the PAX Rising Showcase returns with a spotlight on the next wave of indie hits.
Need new gear? Dozens of hardware companies will be there with hands-on demos, and if shopping’s your thing, the merch and retro game vendors will keep your bag full.
The PAX Arena will once again be the hub of competitive gaming all weekend long, featuring everything from chaotic community events like Stream Stars to high-stakes matches in Almost Pro.
PAX Prime, Reborn?
“With a roster this stacked, it calls to mind an ancient name—a name of power,” said Jerry Holkins, co-founder of PAX and Penny Arcade. “PAX Prime has returned.”
