The Taipei International Game Show 2025 not only featured exhibits from domestic and international companies such as Nintendo, Koei Tecmo, Clouded Leopard Entertainment, and JST, but also attracted players' attention with popular games such as "Tower of Saviors," "Azur Lane," "Path of Exile 2," and "Uma Musume." Hardware manufacturers such as ASUS and MSI also exhibited gaming equipment including AI PCs.
ASUS is collaborating with Qiddiya City, a large entertainment and tourism city in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, under the ROG brand. The collaboration will be held during the Taipei International Game Show for the first time, integrating Qiddiya City's esports style with ROG gaming equipment.
The booth's theme, inspired by the code startup sequence, blends with the Cyberpunk style to present a dissolution of the boundary between reality and illusion. Incorporating elements of the UBAR urban area of Qiddiya City, the booth allows players to immerse themselves in science fiction while also becoming ROG SAGA heroes and experiencing interactive levels using ROG gaming equipment and ASUS AirVision M1 smart glasses.
After NVIDIA recently unveiled the GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, ASUS also displayed its GeForce RTX 5080, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and the water-cooled ROG Astral LC GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards in the exhibition area, and also displayed a variety of ROG-branded accessories.
The ROG Ally handheld game console and the ROG Zephyrus G16 AI gaming laptop were also on display. The company also collaborated with many gaming companies to showcase their latest games using TUF Gaming equipment. The NUC 14 Pro AI+ mini PC was on display in the AI PC zone, and the company collaborated with CyberLink to showcase the Cyberlink PhotoDirector application experience, which uses artificial intelligence to generate unique personal portraits.
Although MSI did not set up a separate booth, it also displayed its new GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards in the AI PC area. It also displayed the Stealth 18 AI Studio gaming laptop, the Claw 8 AI+ gaming handheld, the MPG Infinite X3 AI 2nd gaming console, and a variety of gaming peripherals.
In addition, gaming accessories manufacturer Razer also showcased several new products launched during this year's CES 2025, including a new Chroma RGB lighting monitor stand, as well as a mobile phone stand accessory that combines an external monitor, USB connection expansion, and 100W charging power design for mobile gaming needs, and also supports Chroma RGB lighting effects. In conjunction with this Taipei International Game Show, it also launched various special sales plans for gaming peripherals.
Brook Gaming, a gaming accessories company, exhibited its "Super Cat Computer," a Bluetooth controller designed for games like "Cat Wars," which can be used on Android, iOS, Windows PC, and Mac models. It boasts that it can be used with macro settings, allowing users to play games in a more lazy way.
To meet the needs of game storage, Western Digital exhibited the WD_Black series of SSDs and external storage devices on site, allowing PlayStation 5 to replace or upgrade the SSD storage capacity, or increase the storage space of Xbox series game consoles through external storage, and also speed up the game access efficiency of PC devices.
With more and more games being released on mobile phones, external storage devices, such as micro SD memory cards, have become increasingly important. The SD Association, the non-profit organization that defines SD memory card specifications, exhibited alongside ADATA, Lexar, Nextorage, Phison, and SanDisk at the Taipei International Game Show, explaining how, since its 25th anniversary, it has evolved through iterative updates to the standard, enabling more players to store games on memory cards with higher access efficiency and greater stability.
