Washington-based tech and software giant Microsoft has joined the line-up to speakers gracing the PC Connects Seattle 2019 stage next week.

The head of the Big M's indie developer programme ID@Xbox Chris Charla is taking part in The PC Revolution track at the close of the day, discussing what he has learnt during the last six years and what the indie games market is looking like in 2019.

He joins other big names like Valve, Epic Games, Valve alum Chet Faliszek from Stray Bombay, Take-Two's own Private Division indie publishing label and much more.

 These are just some of the names that are going to be appearing at PC Connects Seattle 2019 on May 13th.

There are four tracks planned for the show, each covering a different aspect of the PC games landscape. State of Play will give attendees an idea of what the PC games landscape looks like right now, while Digital Discovery will provide insight into getting your project noticed in an ever-saturated marketplace. The CodeShop is our design and development track, taking our guests behind the scenes on making games.

Finishing up the day is The PC Revolution, fresh from its debut at PC Connects London 2019, which is going to be examining the emerging trends, tech and markets that are going to change the PC games industry in the coming years.

Tickets are available right here.
