ENDIX, the free interactive digital gaming expo, has announced its return on May 23 and 24, 2026 and, for the first time, will be available directly through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The initiative reinforces its mission to expand access to industry events by removing barriers such as travel costs and ticket prices.

Created by Nikos Perifanis, the event was built around three core principles: innovation, accessibility and genuine visibility for developers who often struggle to gain meaningful exposure at traditional expos. The goal is to provide a more democratic platform for both studios and a global audience.

According to the founder himself, Nikos Perifanis, "Cost and distance should never be the reason someone misses out on a great gaming expo. We built ENDIX so that anyone, anywhere, can walk in.", reinforcing the mission of making the experience open and accessible to anyone, regardless of location.

Within the platform, every booth is created directly by the developers, using real in-game assets to build interactive spaces that feel like natural extensions of their projects, featuring demos, trailers and surprises throughout the experience.

Among the highlights of this edition is Theatrum Obscurum, a showcase dedicated exclusively to horror game trailers, featuring a dark, carefully curated and intentionally unsettling selection. The first wave of confirmed exhibitors includes names such as THQ Nordic, Amber, 505 Games, Untold Tales, Gameforge, RibCage Games, Team17 and Out Of Bounds Games, with more participants yet to be announced. In addition, a partnership with Alienware will introduce mini-games and live competitions, offering rewards such as game keys and exclusive branded merchandise.

Daniel Thorsen Chief Revenue Officer ENDIX states that "Gaming events have always asked people to come to them. We built something that comes to you and doesn't charge you for the privilege. That's ENDIX.", highlighting the event’s commitment to reversing the traditional model and bringing the experience directly to audiences at no cost.
