EGX, which was previously called Eurogamer Expo, is a video game event organized by ReedPop (and earlier by Gamer Network). It takes place every year in the United Kingdom.
History
The first Eurogamer Expo happened at the Old Truman Brewery during the London Games Festival in 2008. About 4,000 people attended the event. In 2009, the show took place at The Royal Armouries in Leeds and the Old Billingsgate Market in London at the end of October. From 2010 to 2014, the event was held at London's Earls Court. When the venue closed, EGX moved to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre as part of a long-term agreement.
In 2012, Eurogamer and Rock Paper Shotgun created Rezzed, a PC and indie games show that started as part of Eurogamer Expo. Rezzed was first held at the Brighton Centre on July 6–7, 2012. In September 2012, Eurogamer announced that Eurogamer Expo would also include a Rezzed section.
In October 2013, Eurogamer Expo was renamed EGX London, and Rezzed became EGX Rezzed. The EGX London brand ended in 2014. After moving to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre, the event was called simply EGX.
On February 21, 2018, a third event in Berlin, Germany, was announced. On November 28, 2018, it was announced that EGX 2019 would return to London's ExCel.
On March 13, 2020, EGX Rezzed 2020 was originally planned for March 26–28, 2020. It was postponed to July 2–4, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but was later canceled. On June 30, 2020, EGX 2020, which was scheduled for September 17–20, 2020, was also canceled. That same day, EGX announced it would partner with PAX to host a 9-day online event from September 12–20, 2020. The event was named PAX Online X EGX Digital.
On February 19, 2021, it was announced that EGX Rezzed and EGX would return as live events if it was safe to do so following the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations and government guidelines.
On October 11, 2021, EGX Rezzed was renamed EGX Birmingham and would return to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre. The renamed event aimed to expand the "Rezzed Zone" and include AAA studios showcasing spring releases. Originally planned for March 4–6, 2022, the event was postponed to 2023 due to "the current climate and the effects of Omicron."
EGX London 2023 took place at ExCel London from October 12–15, 2023, with TikTok as the headline partner. The show featured two esports tournaments: one for Tekken 7 and one for Street Fighter 6.
