The Big Screen Gaming Summit, a new two-day event dedicated to PC, console, web3, VR, and AR games, will debut alongside Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki on October 1-2, 2024. One ticket, two events!

This expansion of the world’s leading independent games conference series aims to provide a comprehensive forum for the evolving landscape of multi-platform game development.

The dedicated summit will feature eight specialised tracks covering crucial industry topics, including market trends, UGC, live service games, discoverability, practical AI, and more. Each track will offer in-depth discussions, panels, and presentations from industry experts, providing attendees with valuable insights into the latest trends, technologies, and business strategies shaping the future of games. The summit will also explore emerging markets in Latin America, Asia, and MENA, which are expected to drive future player growth on PC and console platforms.

“As the games industry continues to evolve, we recognise the continuing importance of PC and console platforms alongside mobile,” said Dave Bradley, COO of Steel Media. “The Big Screen Gaming Summit represents our commitment to serving the entire games industry, offering a unique opportunity for professionals to explore the challenges and opportunities across all major platforms.”

The event will also host The Very Big Indie Pitch (PC + Console Edition), providing indie developers with a platform to showcase their projects to a panel of experts. This competition offers valuable feedback and exposure for up-and-coming developers in the PC and console space. Indie developers are encouraged to apply early, as spots are limited.

Both the Big Screen Gaming Summit and Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki will take place at Wanha Satama, Helsinki, as part of the Finnish Games Week. Finland is famous for its mobile games, but it’s also home to renowned studios like Housemarque and Remedy Entertainment, showcasing the country’s strength in PC and console game development.

Early bird tickets offering savings of over £300 are currently available, providing access to both events. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with industry professionals, gain insights from leading experts, and explore the expo area. The event will also feature a MeetToMatch online meeting platform, facilitating valuable connections among participants.

In addition to the main conference tracks, the summit will include roundtable discussions, networking events like Investor Connector and Publisher SpeedMatch, and a party in downtown Helsinki. As part of Finnish Games Week (30 September – 4 October), the Big Screen Gaming Summit and  Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki will join the IGDA Leadership Day, W In Games and more activities celebrating the regional games scene.

Amusnet has released its latest crash game, Hot Racing. This high-energy game throws players straight onto the track, where every second matters and every decision can boost the win.

Place the bet and watch the race unfold. The multiplier starts climbing the second the cars hit the track, and every moment the player stay in pushes the potential win higher. Want to play it smart?

Every round brings a fresh shot of adrenaline. Ready to level up? Place an additional side bet and pick the car you think will surge ahead and win the race. It’s your chance to add more excitement and boost your strategy.

Prefer a more laid-back approach? Turn on Autoplay. Set your number of rounds and your target multiplier, and let the game do the work. Once your target hits, your win locks in automatically – smooth, simple, and stress-free.

The tension builds in seconds. The stakes keep rising. Every race puts you right on the edge – go bigger or cash out now? That’s where the real thrill kicks in.

Hot Racing brings speed, excitement and sharp decision-making into every round. Jump in, trust your instincts and grab your win before the race leaves you behind.
