I’ll be the first to admit it, I like to game. I may not be as proficient as some of the younger gamers out there, but for a “seasoned” individual, I do pretty well. Have controller, will travel!
Not surprisingly, summer is a popular time for gaming. The days are longer and warmer, so everyone tends to be out and about more, including gamers. Many gamers are on extended breaks from school or work, so they’ve got more leisure time. Plus, summer vacations bring friends and family together, and video games are a great catalyst for social interaction and shared experiences in person or online.
Summer is also when many video game publishers tease or release top titles. Gamers can also expect to see more esports tournaments, competitions, and professional gaming league events this time of year.
Here are some of the top gaming gear choices for Summer 2023 I’m seeing. All have been vetted by CORE Gaming for performance, reliability, and style and they’re backed by CORE Gaming’s 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
