SPECIAL GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT — Jordan Missig Sim Gaming Expo Presented by SimCraft is September 18–20 at the Schaumburg Renaissance Convention Center in Schaumburg, IL and tickets are on sale now at simgamingexpo.com! We are excited to welcome professional race car driver Jordan Missig to the Sim Gaming Expo Presented by SimCraft 2026! Meet and greet located at the: Apevie X Fanatec X BILLT PCs Booth Friday and Saturday. The Illinois native has built his racing career through competition in karting, sports cars, Formula Regional, USF Pro 2000 and INDY NXT by Firestone. As Jordan progressed through the motorsports ladder, sim racing became an important part of his development — giving him additional seat time away from the track and allowing him to train, prepare and continue developing his race craft between real-world racing opportunities. Jordan is the 2024 Radical Cup North America Champion, earning nine wins and 16 podiums during his championship season, and has continued competing at one of the highest levels of the INDYCAR development ladder. His experience represents exactly what Sim Gaming Expo is all about: the growing connection between simulation and real-world motorsports, and the role sim racing can play as a legitimate training and development tool for professional drivers. Come meet Jordan and talk racing, simulation, driver development and how he uses the virtual world to prepare for competition on the real track. Show Hours: Friday, September 18 | 12PM – 8PM Saturday, September 19 | 10AM – 6PM Sunday, September 20 | 10AM – 5PM Grab your tickets now at simgamingexpo.com Follow Sim Gaming Expo @simgamingexpo to stay up to date with all the latest news and show details. #SimGamingExpo #SGE2026 #JordanMissig #INDYNXT #SimRacing #Motorsports #Racing_on @billtpcs @JordanMRacing @fanatec Apevie Simulator GR1P

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT — Iron Rebellion x DOF Reality Sim Gaming Expo Presented by SimCraft is just days away — September 18–20 at the Schaumburg Renaissance Convention Center in Schaumburg, IL. Tickets are on sale now at simgamingexpo.com We are incredibly excited to share that Black Beach Studio, makers of Iron Rebellion, and DOF REALITY have teamed up to bring one of the most jaw-dropping activations in SGE history to the show floor this September. Iron Rebellion has always been a standout VR experience — a tactical mech combat simulator built from the ground up for virtual reality, featuring a fully interactive cockpit where you physically operate the controls of colossal war machines while looking out at a futuristic battlefield of rival Mechs trying to take you down. It is fast-paced, immersive, and unlike anything else in VR. But for the first time ever — you will not just see what it feels like to pilot a Mech. You will FEEL it. DOF Reality will have one of their brand new H4 motion simulators inside the Iron Rebellion booth at #316, located right next to DOF Reality's main booth at #315. The H4 incorporates Heave motion — that up and down movement — making every thundering Mech footstep, every hit, and every battle feel shockingly real. Powered by Sim Racing Studio, the collaboration between Black Beach Studio and DOF Reality has produced something that even the most casual gamer will find absolutely mind-blowing. In the words of Mark Scheierman, DOF Reality's Business Development Manager — this is one of the coolest experiences he has ever had in VR and a motion simulator, and he has done a lot. We will leave it at that. Spots are going to fill up fast. Head straight to the Iron Rebellion booth when the doors open and get your name on the list early — you do not want to miss this one.
