"I wanted to make the show I wanted to watch" – How Galaxies found a place in the crowded showcase landscape

Galaxies Showcase founder Chris Thomas said he set out to "make the show that I would want to watch," using "tapas-style" curation to pack game trailers into a tightly curated hour with no interviews. The event airs twice a year in April and October, and its spring showcase audience more than doubled in its second year, with GameDiscoverCo data showing an average wishlist gain of +17,731. Its first show debuted in March 2025 exclusively on Twitch, hitting around 23,000 concurrent viewers.
