IGN is on a mission to enrich the experiences of gaming and entertainment fans worldwide. On June 7–8, IGN Live is back at The Magic Box @ The Reef in downtown Los Angeles for a weekend packed with everything our fans love: our biggest shows live, celebrity panels, exclusive reveals, and the kind of high-energy fandom that only IGN can deliver. Whether attending in person or streaming from anywhere in the world, IGN Live is your front-row seat to the future of gaming and entertainment.
And yes, our industry partners are going big too. Xbox, Netflix, 2K, Ubisoft, SEGA, IDW Publishing, Lenovo, Arcade1Up, Intel, Critical Role, and more will be onsite with game demos, first looks, interactive experiences, and can’t miss activations designed for fans, creators, and players alike.
“IGN has set the standard for delivering critical news, rich fan culture content, and in-depth game expertise to passionate audiences wherever they are. IGN Live channels that energy into a fully immersive experience, offering our products & brands a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with fans in deeper, more meaningful ways.”
– Ryan Okum, EVP, Publishing, Sega of America
Last year’s debut IGN Live featured a stacked lineup of guests and partners, including Xbox’s Phil Spencer, the cast of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, WWE’s Michin, and John Wick director Chad Stahelski. Fans walked away with over 10,000 prizes, from gaming consoles and exclusive comics to limited-edition collectibles and game codes.
“2K is thrilled to be participating in IGN Live once again in 2025. It’s a great opportunity to put our biggest titles in front of fans who love everything about games and entertainment. Last year we partnered with IGN to bring WWE Superstars to the event along with playable games on the floor and tons of incredible giveaways. We’re looking forward to seeing gaming fans at IGN Live again this June.”
– Eric Alayoubi, Head of Marketing, Sports at 2K
In 2025, we’re leveling up the entire experience. Once again, we will co-host the official Xbox Summer Showcase watch party live at IGN Live on June 8, bringing fans an up-close look at what’s next from the world of Xbox. Netflix will also return with exclusive previews of its upcoming slate of must-watch shows and tentpole films.
This year, we’re especially excited to partner with Intel, who is bringing new standout experiences to the show floor including a Live PC Build Workshop, where an expert builder will craft four custom rigs across the weekend and be given away to fans daily.
“IGN is a platform where gaming and technology collide, and we’re looking forward to demonstrating how Intel powers the best in PC gaming at IGN Live. From expert PC DIY builds to great gaming experiences powered by Intel processors and graphics, we’re bringing the performance that gamers demand and can’t wait to see the incredible experience come to life.”
– Carolyn Henry, VP & GM Intel Americas Regional Marketing
And we’re just getting started.
IGN Live is more than just an experience, it’s a global stage for what’s next. With over 490 million fans across IGN’s worldwide platforms, IGN Live will reach audiences in real-time through livestreams, social media, and on-site editorial, making it one of the most influential entertainment weekends of the summer.
Whether you’re a fan of games, movies, TV, comics, cosplay, collectibles, or just love being first to see what’s next, this is your moment.
Bringing IGN Live back to Los Angeles is about more than just an event — it’s a celebration of the passionate gaming and entertainment community that drives everything we do. We’re thrilled to create a space where fans, creators, and our incredible partners come together to share in the energy of live experiences. This is our moment to connect face-to-face with our audience, and deliver unforgettable entertainment at the epicenter of pop culture.”
