INTRODUCING PAX LAND 2026

Each year, four exciting weekends emerge in familiar cities: Boston, Seattle, Australia, and Philadelphia, bringing excitement and wonder to gamers near and far. Each of our parks are laid out for maximum enjoyment. See the sights in the expo hall, laugh, cry, and even ponder as experts in the gaming industry dazzle you in our panel rooms, grab a root beer from our trusted drink vendors, and best of all, experience new games first hand, well… everywhere!  

Games developers large and small work tirelessly to bring you incredible feats of gravity to capture your attention and your honed gaming skills. Each expo hall across PAXLandia delivers games directly to the hands of gamers, ready to experience, play, and wishlist. No carnival tricks here, just demos for days. Keep wandering to find licensed merchandise, gaming hardware to improve your home setup.

With freeplay areas throughout PAXLandia, you’re encouraged to show your best friends who’s boss, or make new friends (and then show them who’s boss!). Our games library houses more than 2000 games, so if you’ve been on the hunt for your white whale, there’s a good chance you’ll find it here. Visit our no-coins-needed arcade room, with old cabinets and new games from Japan and beyond! Our VR freeplay can take you on incredible rides through amusement parks in absentia, or bring you into a Matrix-style shootout and returning back to reality for dinner.

Take a seat in any of our theatres to hear from beloved figures in the gamesphere. Kick off your weekend with us at our Storytime, watch exclusive game reveals from major publishers, and rock out at concerts that will knock your socks off. Debate the best side characters in well known franchises, or which 90s video games hold up after years of scrutiny. Take part in interactive panels with trivia, prizes, and endless giggles and gags, hollers and hoots. Learn from industry professionals, and cheer during live-plays for your favorite adventurers. Be sure to visit PAX Arena in the Expo Hall for esports competitions and all things competitive. All included with your entry pass!
