QuakeCon is such a staple of gaming events, imprinted within the industry itself, that it’s almost easy to forget that it has happened every year for the past two and a half decades.

This year, QuakeCon decided to look back at its roots. Instead of big, fancy presentations, they’re putting a hard focus on gaming itself. The BYOC, or “Bring Your Own Computer”, mentality lets people set up shop to play their favorite games over the 4-day weekend.

There is no exhibitor hall and no general admission. You had to pre-register to attend.

But, it is 2023, meaning that those that can’t make their way to the Lone Star State can join the fun on stream. There are plenty of stream events going on.

You can watch the streams from their BYOC floor on both YouTube and Twitch.

As for the schedule, they’re only offering the first day of events right now. Future days could hold some surprises doing it that way. All of the times are in Central Time, so set your clocks correctly if you’re watching.
