Mumbai gamers Rehan Siddique and Vipul Dalvi were the two lucky attendees who took home premium gaming rigs from CyberPowerPC, a global leader in custom gaming computers that debuted in the Indian market earlier this year.
Competing against over 500 participants at GamingCon 2024, one of India’s biggest gaming festivals, both gamers won the state-of-the-art CyberPowerPCs, valued at over INR 1 lakh each for free.
The giveaway, held during the two-day gaming festival at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, was another initiative by CyberPowerPC India to contribute to the growth of PC gaming in the country and showcase the power of customised gaming PCs.
Participants completed a series of challenges, starting with a fun activity, followed by exploring CyberPowerPC’s innovative EZPC tool and wrapping up with games like Just Dance and Beat Saber VR.
On Day 1, Rehan, a first-year game design student from Mumbai, emerged as the winner of the Xtreme Arctic 500 Gaming PC. Being a passionate PC gamer, Rehan enjoys playing titles such as VALORANT, Grand Theft Auto (GTA), and Red Dead Redemption, which complement his growing expertise in game design.
“Winning CyberPowerPC India’s Xtreme Arctic 500 Gaming PC was an unbelievable experience. I still can’t believe I won and it was the highlight of the entire event for me. Red Dead Redemption 2 will be the first game I play on this amazing PC,” said Rehan Siddique.
Day 2 saw Vipul, a BMC employee, claim the Xtreme 500 Gaming PC. An equally dedicated gaming enthusiast, Vipul’s favorite games also includes VALORANT, alongside EAFC, and Formula One, showcasing his love for both competitive and simulation-based gaming experiences.
“The whole experience was amazing, and I am still in shock that I won a gaming PC. The atmosphere at the event was top-notch, and now I can finally play EAFC 25, which has always been my dream game,” shared Vipul Dalvi.
Attendees also explored CyberPowerPC India’s innovative website at its booth, learning how easy it is to design a custom PC using the Configurator.
They also tried the EZPC module, which allows gamers to quickly build or select their ideal PC in just 30 seconds based on over 25 popular games, including Counter-Strike 2, VALORANT, Elden Ring, GTA V, League of Legends, and Fortnite.
Sharing his thoughts, Vishal Parekh, Chief Operating Officer, CyberPowerPC India stated, “We were thrilled to witness the excitement and engagement of the crowd for our giveaway at GamingCon 2024. It was encouraging to see the growing interest in PC gaming as attendees were eager to try out our configurator, live FPS, and the EZPC tool, all designed to help gamers easily customize their perfect gaming rigs. Congratulations to both Rehan and Vipul, who will now have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the world of PC gaming with their new high-performance systems. This initiative aligns with our mission to inspire and support gamers by providing access to cutting-edge technology, thereby contributing to the growth of India’s burgeoning PC gaming community.”
Alongside the customised rigs, CyberPowerPC India also rewarded approximately 300 participants with branded merchandise, including t-shirts, caps, mousepads, and sling bags, for completing fun tasks at their booth over the course of the event.
The recently released ‘Indian Gamer Behaviour and Market Insights’ report by Niko Partners shows that 77.3% of PC gamers in India spent more on games in Q1 2024 than the previous year, outpacing mobile and console gaming.
Additionally, Steam reported a 150% increase in new users in India from 2019 to 2024, highlighting the growing interest in PC gaming.
Staying true to its commitment, CyberPowerPC delivered on its promise of giving away two premium gaming PCs absolutely free at GamingCon 2024.
