ORLANDO, FL — May 28th, 2026 — Video game festival GCX (Gaming Community Expo), taking place at Universal Orlando Resort July 24-25, has secured a significant private, multi-year investment to support the continued expansion and growth of the popular event. The funding will enable GCX to deliver enhanced experiences for attendees and exhibitors alike. Founded by popular content creators King Gothalion and Professor Broman, the event brings together some of the biggest game developers, publishers, celebrities, and communities from around the world for what is considered a “holiday destination celebration.”
The 2026 event will have a significant focus on bringing more of the game industry together, with industry badges attracting investors and publishers from around the world, culminating in an exclusive afterparty at Universal Studios Florida after the sun goes down, much to the enjoyment of attendees.
“We’re very excited to expand the capabilities of GCX with our new partners. Our plans for the next several years are to create more exciting experiences for the GCX community. Join us at Universal Orlando Resort in July to be part of the first steps of this new adventure.”
