Nvidia has officially teased its upcoming RTX 50 series, featuring exciting gaming and tech communities. This major announcement follows a period of silence from the company, with Nvidia now gearing up for a big reveal at CES 2025. Events and celebrations are already underway, allowing fans to join in on the excitement and win some fantastic prizes.
What to expect at CES 2025
After years of anticipation, Nvidia has confirmed that its CES 2025 keynote, taking place on January 6, 2025, will focus on next-gen gaming GPUs. This confirmation is a departure from previous expectations, which anticipated a keynote that would be more centred on Nvidia’s data centre business. With this news, it’s clear that Nvidia is preparing to unveil something exciting for the gaming world, specifically the RTX 50-series.
This confirmation also marks the beginning of the company’s celebration of 25 years since it launched its first GPU, the GeForce 256. As part of the festivities, Nvidia has invited gamers and enthusiasts to join in using the hashtag #GeForceGreats on social media. As more fans participate, the GeForce Hype Meter will continue to rise, increasing the prize pool and encouraging further interaction.
GeForce LAN returns and prizes to win
One of the highlights of Nvidia’s celebrations is the return of the GeForce LAN party, a legendary event in 2011. After more than a decade, Nvidia is bringing the event back, and this time, it will span both online and in-person formats. Running for 50 hours, the event will kick off on January 4, 2025, and end just before Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang delivers his keynote.
Although the original GeForce LAN party was hosted aboard a decommissioned USS Hornet aircraft, this year’s event will occur primarily online. However, there will be live gaming sessions in major cities worldwide, including Las Vegas, Beijing, Taipei, and Berlin. Gamers can sign up for these events on Nvidia’s LAN 50 website, though registration is not yet open.
Nvidia will host “epic online GeForce LAN Missions” throughout the 50-hour event to keep the excitement building. These missions will offer in-game rewards alongside more opportunities to contribute to the growing GeForce Hype Meter. The more fans engage with the content on Nvidia’s social media channels, including GeForce, GFN, Studio, and AI_PC, the more prizes will be unlocked.
What happens next?
As the countdown to the RTX 50-series release continues, fans are encouraged to interact with Nvidia’s social media posts to help increase the Hype Meter. With plenty of prizes, giveaways, and events ahead, there’s no better time to get involved. Nvidia has also hinted at some exciting possibilities for the future, with rumours circulating that the RTX 5090 could be up to 70% faster than the current RTX 4090.
Keep an eye out for more updates as Nvidia builds up to the CES 2025 event, where the official details of the RTX 50-series are expected to be revealed. Whether you’re a gamer, tech enthusiast, or simply a fan of Nvidia’s products, it’s clear that the excitement around the RTX 50-series is only just beginning.
