ENDIX 2026 Returns with an Unprecedented Digital Games Expo Experience on Steam and Epic Games Store
In an era where digital expos increasingly rely on live streams and traditional showcase pages that offer one-way content consumption, ENDIX introduces a completely different concept of what a “digital games expo” means in the modern age. Instead of being merely a passive viewing experience from behind the screen or following promotional shows on streaming platforms without real interaction, ENDIX completely redefines the experience to make it more vibrant, immersive, and realistic within the digital world.
Through this approach, the event gives players the opportunity to actually enter a massive multiplayer virtual world, specially designed as an open interactive space that can be freely explored, like a living digital games city. Within this world, visitors are not limited to watching only; they become an actual part of the experience itself. They can move between showcases, discover new projects, enter live events, and interact with environments designed specifically to reflect the spirit of each participating game or studio.
Most importantly, this virtual world does not separate the audience from the games industry; it brings them closer together in an unprecedented way. It allows players to communicate directly with developers, discuss ideas, ask questions, and even try early content in some cases, while also interacting with other players and content creators from around the world in the same moment. This type of interaction transforms the expo from a mere media event into a living interactive social space, where the experience evolves based on the users’ own participation.
In this way, ENDIX does not present just a traditional games expo in digital format, but opens the door to an entirely new model that combines entertainment, interactive experience, and global community building within a single virtual world — reflecting the future of digital expos in the games industry.
On May 22 and 23, 2026, ENDIX returns with a new and more advanced edition, representing another leap in the concept of interactive digital events. This time, the event expands significantly to deliver a richer and more diverse experience that combines entertainment with actual participation inside a fully integrated virtual world. This edition goes beyond simply displaying content or organizing traditional events; it focuses on creating a live experience where visitors feel they are part of the event itself rather than external observers.
The program includes a wide range of live events broadcast inside the virtual world that bring participants together in real-time interactive moments, alongside dynamic competitions designed to enhance competition among players and add an exciting atmosphere throughout the event. ENDIX also offers exclusive developer tours this year inside the showcased games and projects, giving the audience a unique opportunity to see behind-the-scenes development and understand the ideas and creativity behind each experience.
The event further includes dozens of community activities aimed at strengthening communication between players, content creators, and developers from around the world within a single digital environment that unites them on the common ground of passion for games. Real prizes are also added to the experience, giving the event a stronger competitive dimension, with special rewards and gifts offered in collaboration with Alienware — a step that reflects the level of partnership and quality ENDIX aims to achieve in this edition.
With this blend of live events, community interaction, and real rewards, ENDIX solidifies its position as one of the most prominent digital events redefining the modern games expo experience, transforming it from mere content display into a fully integrated global experience that you live inside rather than just watch.
The event will be available for free via:
What is ENDIX
ENDIX is an interactive multiplayer digital games expo designed to simulate the experience of visiting a real games expo, but in a completely virtual format accessible from anywhere in the world without geographical restrictions or the need for physical attendance. The event aims to redefine the concept of traditional games expos by integrating gaming and social interaction elements inside one fully integrated virtual environment, making the player an actual part of the event rather than just a spectator.
The core idea of the event is to transform traditional “expo booths” into explorable three-dimensional worlds, where display areas are built using real assets inspired by or taken directly from the games themselves. This gives each pavilion its own independent visual identity and a completely different experience from the others. This style makes every space inside the expo carry the character of the game it represents — in terms of artistic design, atmosphere, and interaction style — enhancing the sense of immersion and turning navigation between pavilions into an experience of playing in itself.
Instead of the traditional model based on watching static trailers, promotional videos, or navigating rigid web pages, ENDIX offers a more vibrant and deeper experience, where players can interact directly with the content inside a living environment. They can freely roam the expo as if they were in a massive virtual city, discover different worlds at their own pace, and interact directly with surrounding environmental elements.
In addition, the event enables real-time communication with other players, content creators, and developers, turning the expo into a global interactive social space that brings the gaming community together in one place. Participants can attend live events inside the virtual world, join group activities, participate in guided developer tours, and explore interactive showcases while experiencing in-game content in a way that makes the experience feel closer to reality — all within a completely digital space.
In this way, ENDIX is not limited to being a digital expo; it becomes a comprehensive platform that combines showcasing, experience, and social interaction, setting a new standard for the future of digital events in the games industry.
ENDIX Continues Its Global Growth
Over the past few years, ENDIX has established itself as one of the most distinctive interactive digital events in the games sector, benefiting from its unique concept that combines virtual expos with collective gaming experiences inside a living digital world. With each new edition, the event continues to expand its global reach and attract a larger audience of players, content creators, and game companies from around the world.
Previous editions of ENDIX achieved remarkable numbers that reflect the growing interest in the event, surpassing 350,000 unique viewers, while its events generated more than 4 million impressions across Steam Events. This demonstrates the event’s ability to reach a wide global audience on one of the largest PC gaming platforms.
The success was not limited to viewership numbers alone; it also extended to community and media engagement. More than 150 content creators and gaming influencers covered the event, delivering live streams, hands-on experiences, and various showcases that helped spread ENDIX across different player communities. This strong media presence gave the event additional momentum and helped establish it as a platform anticipated by those interested in the games industry and interactive digital experiences.
Previous editions also saw participation from several well-known global companies and publishers, including THQ Nordic, 505 Games, AMD, and 11 bit studios — names with a strong presence in the games industry. This reflects the increasing confidence in the event and its ability to attract partners from various sectors related to gaming and technology.
The 2026 edition aims to go even further by expanding its reach and accessing a larger global audience, especially with the event now being available on two major platforms: Steam and Epic Games Store. This move represents a significant expansion of ENDIX’s strategy, opening the door to new segments of players and users worldwide instead of relying on a single platform.
With this expansion, ENDIX seeks to strengthen its position as one of the leading modern digital expos that blends social interaction, game discovery, and live experiences inside a virtual world — at a time when the games industry is increasingly moving toward large-scale community-driven digital experiences.
What ENDIX Offers Players
What most distinguishes ENDIX from traditional digital expos is its ability to merge several different elements into one integrated experience. It does not merely offer a space to showcase games or watch promotional trailers; it seeks to create a living interactive world that combines digital expo experiences, multiplayer gaming atmospheres, and community activities that give players a genuine sense of real participation inside the event.
This blend makes ENDIX closer to a complete virtual games festival, where the player is not just a spectator moving between videos and showcase pages, but an actual part of the experience itself. Throughout the event days, participants can engage in a wide range of activities and events designed to maintain continuous interaction between the audience, developers, content creators, and other players.
Among the highlights ENDIX offers are live developer tours, which give players a rare opportunity to explore new games and projects alongside the development teams themselves, with the chance to ask questions and learn about the development process and ideas behind each project. These tours add a human and interactive touch rarely found in traditional digital expos.
The event also features interactive competitions and group challenges designed to involve the community more deeply, whether through individual competition or cooperative gameplay in various activities. These events not only add excitement and challenge but also help create direct communication between participants from around the world inside a single virtual environment.
The experience does not stop at competitive events. ENDIX also offers social and entertainment activities that give the event a character closer to living digital communities, including in-game photography sessions that allow players to take group photos inside specially designed virtual environments, as well as horror viewing parties and recreational events held on the expo floor that add variety to the overall experience.
All these elements make ENDIX more than just a digital games expo — it is an interactive space that combines exploration, entertainment, and social connection inside a virtual world that remains alive and active throughout the event.
Saturday Schedule – Global Coverage Extending from Asia to Europe and America
The first day of ENDIX features a large and diverse set of activities designed to suit multiple time zones around the world. This aims to give the largest possible number of players the chance to participate regardless of their geographical location. This approach reflects the global nature of the event, with activities extending to serve a wide audience from Asia to Europe and America, with a clear focus on community interaction and collective experiences that make participants an essential part of the event itself.
From the early hours of the event, ENDIX puts the creative and social side at the forefront of the experience through activities that encourage players to explore, interact, and participate continuously inside the virtual world.
1. Virtual Photography Run – Slot 1
10:00 – 11:00 UTC
ENDIX kicks off the weekend with a creative photography session inside the game world — one of the activities that reflects the event’s philosophy of transforming the digital expo into a living space full of activity and interaction. During this event, visitors are invited to roam freely inside the virtual expo center, explore the pavilions and different worlds, and capture unique shots and distinctive scenes.
The experience is not limited to taking photos only; it encourages players to express their personal vision of the virtual world, whether by photographing artistic details of the booths, documenting social moments between participants, or highlighting creative designs inspired by the participating games.
2. Theatrum Obscorum Viewing Party
13:00 – 14:00 UTC
The Theatrum Obscorum Viewing Party is one of the most unique and distinctive events at ENDIX. It moves the event from traditional expo atmospheres to an interactive cinematic and mysterious experience that blends horror and artistic performance inside a multiplayer virtual world.
During this event, players enter a massive virtual opera house with a dark and mysterious atmosphere known as Theatrum Obscorum — an environment carefully designed to reflect dark fantasy atmospheres and classic mysterious theatrical performances. From the moment they enter the hall, visitors find themselves in a completely different experience, dominated by dim lighting, dark architectural details, and visual effects.
Inside this virtual hall, dozens of clips and performances inspired by horror, mystery, thrill, and dark fantasy are shown in a collective experience that allows the audience to sit and watch together as if they were in a real cinema or theater — but within a multiplayer game that brings participants from around the world together at the same moment.
The goal of the event goes beyond simply showing content; it aims to create a shared social experience that recreates the atmosphere of viewing parties and live shows familiar to cinema and real-world event audiences, but in an interactive digital style that gives participants the feeling of being inside the event itself. Instead of watching clips individually behind a screen, the audience becomes part of a collective viewing atmosphere, with the ability to interact, move around, and share moments with others inside the hall.
The organizers of ENDIX describe this place as “haunted,” referring to the mysterious and unsettling atmosphere surrounding the event, designed to give visitors a constant sense of tension and curiosity while exploring and watching. This description not only enhances the horror character of the experience but also reflects ENDIX’s style of turning traditional events into immersive experiences with a narrative touch and unique personality inside the virtual world.
3. Tour with the ENDIX Devs – Slot 1
14:00 – 15:00 UTC
The Tour with the ENDIX Devs gives players a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes and explore how the interactive ENDIX world was built, directly alongside the development team responsible for the event. Instead of just experiencing the expo as regular visitors, this tour allows participants to understand the vision and ideas behind the entire experience design.
During the tour, developers take players on a live walkthrough of the different expo areas, showcasing how the virtual environments were designed and how the idea of a “digital expo” was turned into an explorable multiplayer interactive space. The team explains how the booths and different worlds were built and how assets inspired by participating games were integrated to give each pavilion its own special identity and unique visual experience.
The tour does not stop at the technical side only; it also covers ENDIX’s philosophy in designing the interactive world and how the event seeks to go beyond traditional showcases to transform the expo into a living social experience where players feel they are part of the event itself. Developers discuss the challenges they faced while developing the multiplayer environment and how the activities and events were designed to keep the audience engaged throughout the event duration.
In addition, the tour includes some exclusive details about the experience, whether future ideas or elements that players might not notice during regular exploration, giving participants a deeper look at the creative and technical work behind ENDIX.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this event is the direct interaction with the development team, where players can ask questions and talk with developers while moving through the event — an open communication experience that strengthens the relationship between the community and the team responsible for building the virtual world. This type of interaction gives the tour a personal and community-oriented character rarely available in traditional digital expos and makes participants feel they are part of the development process itself rather than just visitors.
4. Alienware Mini-Game Challenge – ENDIX Maze
15:00 – 16:00 UTC
The Alienware Mini-Game Challenge – ENDIX Maze is one of the standout competitive and challenging events at ENDIX. It combines exploration, teamwork, and a spirit of challenge inside an interactive experience specially designed to add excitement and thrill to the event.
In this event, players enter a massive multi-path virtual maze filled with surprises, branches, and obstacles that require focus and quick thinking to reach the exit. The experience does not rely on luck alone; it encourages participants to explore, cooperate, and communicate while trying to discover the correct path inside the maze.
ENDIX gives players the freedom to choose the playstyle that suits them — whether attempting the challenge solo to achieve the fastest time or proving their ability to solve the maze independently, or cooperating with friends and working in groups to share information and help each other during exploration. Even for visitors who do not participate directly, the event offers an enjoyable viewing experience as they can follow other players’ attempts and watch the different routes they take while searching for the exit.
The event is supported by Alienware, which adds an extra level of interest and competition, especially with real prizes dedicated to participants. The prizes include a range of gaming-related rewards such as gaming monitors, backpacks, and Steam cards, giving players additional motivation to take on the challenge and compete strongly throughout the activity.
Besides the competitive aspect, this event also reflects ENDIX’s philosophy of transforming the digital expo into a complete entertainment space, where the visitor’s role is not limited to watching showcases or moving between booths, but becomes part of specially designed games and activities that encourage interaction and community participation inside the virtual world.
5. Alienware Mini-Game Challenge – Climb Trial
19:00 – 20:00 UTC
Following the great success it achieved in previous ENDIX editions, the Climb Trial challenge returns this year with an enhanced and more difficult version, offering one of the most exciting and competitive activities inside the event. This challenge has become a favorite among many participants thanks to its reliance on skill, focus, and quick reflexes rather than luck or randomness.
In this challenge, players must climb a path filled with obstacles, moving platforms, and difficult passages while maintaining precise movement control and avoiding falls to reach the top. As the player progresses, the challenges become more complex, requiring higher focus, better timing, and faster decision-making.
The main goal of the event is to reach the end in the fastest time possible, creating strong competitive atmospheres among participants — whether trying to break records or outperform friends and other players inside the event. The experience also turns into an entertaining spectacle for spectators, especially with surprising moments and unexpected falls that add an entertaining and exciting character to the challenge.
As with other Alienware events at ENDIX, real prizes continue to be awarded to winners, giving participants extra motivation to take the challenge with maximum seriousness and focus. This support reflects the level of partnership between ENDIX and Alienware and adds greater value to the competitive events inside the expo.
Climb Trial is not just a mini-game inside the event; it represents part of ENDIX’s philosophy of integrating multiplayer gaming elements and interactive challenges within the digital expo experience, so that players feel they are participating in a living games festival full of diverse activities and experiences rather than just an event for watching trailers and showcases.
6. Community Interaction – Hide & Seek
21:00 – 22:00 UTC
Among the light social activities offered by ENDIX, the Hide & Seek event adds fun and highly interactive atmospheres between attendees on the virtual expo floor. Despite the simplicity of the concept, it is one of the activities that clearly reflects the event’s focus on building a living and interactive community inside the digital world, rather than just a space for displaying games and content.
The event is based on the classic game of hide and seek but inside ENDIX’s virtual environment, where some players hide in various parts of the expo — whether between booths, inside interactive environments, or in hidden corners of the different worlds — while other players try to find them before time runs out.
The challenge becomes more enjoyable due to the variety and vastness of the expo area designs, as the virtual world contains many detailed and visually rich locations that give participants creative opportunities to hide or camouflage. This makes every round different from the others and encourages players to explore new areas inside the event while searching.
Although prizes in this event are limited to “bragging rights” and friendly competitive spirit among participants, the main goal is to enhance the community aspect inside ENDIX and encourage spontaneous interaction between players. The activity gives attendees the chance to laugh, communicate, and create shared moments away from the formal nature of showcases and competitive tournaments.
Hide & Seek also reflects ENDIX’s philosophy of transforming the digital expo into a vibrant social space, where participants can spend time with others and enjoy simple yet memorable activities that create shared memories and fun collective experiences inside the virtual world.
7. Tour with the ENDIX Devs – Slot 2
22:00 – 23:00 UTC
Following the great interest in the first tour, the ENDIX development team returns to offer a second tour dedicated to giving a larger number of players the opportunity to explore the virtual world and gain a deeper understanding of the technical and artistic aspects behind building the event. This additional tour takes into account different time zones around the world, allowing more participants to join and interact directly with the developers.
During the tour, the development team guides players through different parts of the virtual expo floor, explaining details of the environment and interactive world designs that shape the ENDIX experience. Developers also showcase how the digital booths were built and how assets inspired by participating games were integrated to give each pavilion its own special character and unique experience that reflects the identity of the game or studio it represents.
The tour does not focus only on visual aspects; it also covers the philosophy behind ENDIX as a project that seeks to redefine the idea of digital expos and transform them into living social experiences that combine exploration, community interaction, and collective gaming inside a single virtual world.
The tour also gives players the opportunity for direct interaction with developers and to ask questions while moving through the event, whether about the technical challenges of building a multiplayer world or future ideas that may be developed in upcoming ENDIX editions. This open communication strengthens the relationship between the community and the development team and gives attendees a sense of closer and more personal participation in the experience.
This second tour is another example of ENDIX’s focus on the community and interactive side. The event does not limit itself to presenting content for display only; it opens the door for players to understand how this virtual world was created and to contribute to discussions about its future and development.
Sunday Events – Greater Focus on the United States Audience
ENDIX continues its events on the second day with a new schedule that focuses more on players in North America and nearby time zones. This aims to give a wider audience the opportunity to participate in the main activities without having to follow events at inconvenient or late hours. This approach reflects the global character of the event, as the organizers seek to distribute activities in a way that accommodates time differences between Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Although Sunday includes the return of some activities that saw high engagement on the first day, repeating these events is not random. It is part of a strategy aimed at ensuring the experience reaches the largest possible number of players worldwide, especially given the interactive nature of the event that relies heavily on direct participation and presence inside the virtual world.
The second day includes some of ENDIX’s highlight activities, including:
- A second tour with ENDIX developers that gives players an additional opportunity to explore behind-the-scenes development of the virtual world and interact directly with the team responsible for building the experience.
- A new photography session inside the expo that allows participants to document their moments inside the interactive environments and share photos with the community via Discord and social media.
- The return of Alienware-supported maze and climbing challenges, which are among the most competitive and exciting activities inside the event, with real prizes continuing to be awarded to winners.
- The community Hide & Seek event that adds fun and interactive atmospheres and encourages players to explore and communicate inside the virtual expo floor.
This flexible schedule gives players in different time zones the opportunity to experience the full event without feeling they missed the most important parts, reinforcing ENDIX’s concept as a global digital expo designed to be accessible and suitable for the international gaming community across all categories and regions.
Through this time distribution and the focus on repeating key activities, ENDIX continues to confirm its emphasis on community interaction, accessibility, and engaging players from all over the world, rather than limiting itself to a schedule aimed at only one region.
Real Prizes and Direct Interaction
In addition to the great variety of activities and events inside ENDIX, another important aspect that enhances the value of the experience is the system of real prizes and direct interaction between different parts of the community. This integration of entertainment and real rewards gives the event an additional competitive character and transforms it from a mere digital expo into a complete experience that brings together gaming, participation, and tangible incentives.
ENDIX offers a range of prizes in collaboration with Alienware, the main partner supporting competitive events inside the event. These prizes include a variety of gaming-related rewards such as:
- Professional gaming monitors designed to enhance the gaming experience
- Steam cards for use in the games store
- Gaming equipment and accessories that enhance players’ performance and experience
This type of prize not only adds a motivational element but also reflects ENDIX’s direction toward connecting the virtual experience with tangible rewards that increase participant engagement and excitement during the various activities.
However, the most distinctive aspect of ENDIX is not limited to prizes; it extends to the nature of direct interaction inside the event. The expo focuses on creating a real space for communication between:
- Players
- Developers
- Content Creators
Instead of the traditional model that relies on live streaming or one-way passive viewing, ENDIX offers a two-way interactive experience where participants can discuss, engage, and interact inside the virtual world in real time.
This approach transforms the event into a living social environment that does not limit itself to content display only, but becomes a platform for communication, idea exchange, and sharing experiences between different parts of the games industry, thereby enhancing the value of the event and making it closer to a global interactive community rather than a traditional expo.
Completely Free Experience
One of the key points emphasized by the organizers of ENDIX is that the event is offered completely free of charge, removing one of the biggest traditional barriers to attending physical games expos or even some closed digital events. Any player from anywhere in the world can download the experience and enter the ENDIX world directly without needing to buy a ticket, pay for registration, or bear the costs of travel and accommodation to attend a physical expo.
This open model radically changes the way people access gaming events, as it makes the experience available to a much wider segment of the audience, including independent players, emerging content creators, and small communities that are often excluded from major events due to geographical or financial constraints.
Thanks to this approach, ENDIX becomes an inclusive digital space that anyone can easily enter, reinforcing the idea of “digital democracy” in games expos, where access does not depend on material capabilities or geographical location, but on the desire to participate and engage in the experience.
Being completely free also opens the door to greater community growth and wider interaction between players, developers, and content creators, as the number of potential participants is much higher compared to traditional events. This is reflected in the vitality of the virtual world and the density of activities inside it.
In this way, ENDIX is not limited to being just a digital games expo; it becomes a clear attempt to reimagine the future of interactive events by making them more accessible, more inclusive, and more connected to the global gaming community.
