What’s new in 2025? 

We’re enhancing the LAN Party experience with exciting additions to make this year unforgettable:

## CPU Swap Game

Compete head-to-head in a hilarious and thrilling race where two participants start in-game, shut down their PCs, quickly remove their CPUs, present them to judges, reinstall them, reboot, and get back into the game. We’ll provide the junk PCs—just bring your steady hands and nerves of steel!

## Expanded Retro Gaming Zone

Due to its popularity last year, we’re expanding our dedicated retro gaming area. Take a break to dive into classics from gaming history, with even more setups for attendees to casually jump in and relive nostalgic gaming moments.

## Game Trophies

We’ll have custom trophies for 2–3 featured games or team-based competitions. Winners will walk away with a unique, SAINTCON-gaming-themed trophy recognizing their skills, teamwork, and epic moments from the LAN Party.
