In a news flash AMD announced that an event sponsored by AMD, PC Gamer, Twitch and more PC gaming will take center stage at E3 2015. As the PC gaming platform will get its own first conference.

There's never been a better time to play games on PC. Gaming-capable hardware is inexpensive, digital distribution has given us unprecedented access to a huge range of games, and publishers have finally recognized that reports of its demise as a viable platform were ludicrously exaggerated. And soon the PC will have its own celebratory event during E3 week, with the first-ever PC Gaming Show. Sponsored by PC Gamer, AMD, Twitch, Bohemia Interactive, Tripwire and Digital Storm. They tease: "PC gaming is in a golden age, with more powerful and affordable hardware than ever before, thousands of games available through Steam, Origin and other platforms, and millions of viewers regularly watching esports online. Now, for the first time, the PC platform will have its own event during E3, where the community will be able to celebrate this era with some of the biggest names in PC gaming and see the innovations that lie ahead".

AMD's Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Computing and Graphics, Matt Skynner, said: "The PC Gaming Show embodies the spirit of innovation, openness and community that's part of our DNA-delivered by gamers, for gamers. The time is right for a PC-focused event in the week of E3 and we're honored to be part of bringing the industry together".

There will be some big names at the PC Gaming Show, with the following already confirmed: AMD, Blizzard Entertainment, Bohemia Interactive, Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski, Cloud Imperium Games, Dean Hall, Devolver, Humble Bumble, Heart Machine, Paradox Interactive, Square Enix and Tripwire Interactive.
