PAX East 2027

PAX East 2027 runs 22–25 April 2027 at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

PAX East is a gaming convention on the US East Coast — a massive expo hall of publishers and studios, developer panels, new game demos, tournaments and live entertainment, organized by ReedPop.

Like its PAX siblings, it is a consumer show where the industry ships its hands-on previews: the expo floor is built around playable demos.
