WHAT'S HAPPENED THIS WEEK?
MAY 02
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! 📽
Think of it as a hype potion in video form. We packed in the vibes, the games, the cosplay, the chaos—all of it. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to lock in your weekend plans, this is it.
Watch it, rewatch it, send it to the group chat, and let everyone know: Dallas is about to pop off.
More Guests, More “Wait, THEY’RE Coming ? !” 🤯
Just when you thought the guest list was full, we pulled a fast one and dropped even more creators into the mix. That’s right — more streamers, more content creators AND we’re showcasing all the players joining us on-site and probably a few people you didn’t expect but will definitely freak out over.
They’ll be doing panels, meet & greets, signing sessions, surprise drop-ins, and some even do amazing shows! You’ve been warned: keep your head on a swivel, you never know who you’ll run into on the show floor.
👀 SPEAKING OF GUESTS...
Yes, the rumours are true — the Meet & Greet Theater schedule is now live. You’ll finally be able to meet some of your favourite creators, snap a pic, and maybe even get something signed. The theater setup makes it way easier to plan your weekend around meeting the icons you’ve been watching all year.
Spots fill up fast, so go take a peek and start planning.
have you heard about en passant? well let me tell you...
Time to channel your inner grandmaster — Road to EWC Chess is officially landing at DreamHack Dallas. A fully open, no-invite 3-day chess tournament will feature 256 players. Whether you’re a longtime player or just binge-watched “The Queen’s Gambit” and felt something, this is your moment.
You can watch the action live or try your hand at some open play sessions happening throughout the weekend. Either way, it’s gonna be checkmate.
TABLETOP UPDATE 🃏
Calling all card slingers and tabletop tacticians — we’re expanding. Two huge titles just joined the lineup: One Piece and Magic: The Gathering, and they’re bringing serious prize pools with them. We’re talking 2x $4,000 tournaments for MTG and $5,000 for One Piece, plus casual play for anyone just looking to shuffle up and throw down.
Whether you’re all about Straw Hat pirates or planning your next mono-black control deck, the tabletop zone will be the place to hang. BYOD (bring your own deck) and come ready.
FREEPLAY LEVELS UP 🍄
We’ve officially entered overkill territory in the best way possible. Freeplay is now stocked with over 100 consoles, 200+ high-end PCs, 40+ VR setups, and a game list that reads like a greatest hits album.
Basically, if you ever get bored at DreamHack (you won’t), Freeplay is your move. And yes, it’s all included with your ticket – no extra fees!
