The third annual PC Gaming Show is over! We saw a bunch of new trailers, announcements, and interviews on Monday morning, including the announcement of XCOM 2 expansion War of the Chosen, and the surprise reveal of Age of Empires: Definitive Edition.
We want to thank our brilliant hosts Sean ‘Day[9]’ Plott and OMGitsfirefoxx for making the show great, our sponsors, and all of the developers and publishers who brought their games and announcements. You can watch the entire show archive above—it opens with the Intel Conference, and the PC Gaming Show starts at about one hour in—and we've collected the biggest stories and trailers below. You can see every story from the 2017 PC Gaming Show here.
