Ready player one...? Two...? How about thousands of players? That's what we expect May 8 through 11 at Boston's PAX East 2025, as heavy-hitting game companies like Larian Studios (Baldur's Gate 3), Wizards of the Coast (Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons), Bandai Namco (Elden Ring Nightreign), Funcom (Dune: Awakening), Pearl Abyss (Crimson Dawn), Pokémon, and more all coming - with booths, hands-on demos, and lots of reveals and announcements planned.

Popverse will be there all four days of the show, and as part of the festivities, we will be livestreaming highlights from all the big panels. We will be livestreaming from 10 AM to 10 PM Eastern on May 8 through 10, and then from 10AM to 5 PM on Sunday May 11, giving you glimpses (and in some cases the full panels) from the biggest three stages.
