PAX West 2026

PAX West 2026 is a celebration of gaming and gaming culture featuring thought-provoking panels, a massive expo hall filled with the best publishers and studios, new game demos, musical performances, tournaments, and a community experience unlike any other.

From PAX: Over the years, PAX has evolved with the times: embracing the cutting edge of technology with VR Freeplay, reaching out across the full spectrum of gamers via our Diversity Lounge, and building up immense game libraries for every genre and platform. Despite this, we’ve stayed true to our roots and a pretty surprising amount of what makes PAX what it is today existed way back in 2004. Freeplay, Tournaments, Enforcers, Expo Hall, Concerts, Panels, and the Omegathon…it was all there. Just, y’know, on a much different scale.

PAX West is the original. The one that started it all. The PAX before all other PAX’s. It may have technically started in Bellevue, just across a bridge to the east, and it may have technically used a different name in the very beginnings, but make no mistake. PAX West is the Original Recipe, and we’ve stayed true to all those herbs and spices all these years later.
