As a full-time journalist and part-time gamer, Comic Con has always been a place where my love for tech and storytelling collide. So on Day 1 of Comic Con Delhi 2025, I put on my walking shoes, packed my backpack and headed to Okhla NSIC. I was especially curious this year as Sony, Lenovo, and several major gaming and tech brands had a noticeable presence on the show floor. Nodwin had set up an entire gaming arena this time, and like-minded gamers from all over the city gathered at one place.
SurveyI spent the entire day drifting between halls, gaming corners, tech booths and the occasional food stall. By the time I left, my feet were begging for mercy, my phone’s battery had given up, and my bag felt heavier than it had any right to be. But a few moments stood out, almost instantly, as the ones that made the long day feel genuinely worthwhile.
Ghost of Yotei PS5 faceplates and special console deals
Sony’s PlayStation booth pulled in crowds this year, and the main attraction was the Ghost of Yotei-themed PS5 faceplates and controllers. Both had a clean winter aesthetic that fans loved, and when they were displayed in all their glory, people stopped frequently to take photos, check out the detailing and ask about availability. Both faceplates and the controller were available to buy at the booth. Apart from this, there were some quick contests being held from time to time, offering a chance for visitors to win PS5 merchandise.
There were also a few gameplay stations where visitors could try out PS5 titles. Coming to shoppers, there were special discounts on PlayStation consoles, controllers, as well as games.
Lenovo and Intel turned PC gaming into a hands-on arena
After checking out Sony’s PlayStation booth, I quickly headed to the Lenovo and Intel gaming zone. It felt less like a booth and more like a fully functioning PC playground. Rows of high-end setups were loaded with recent titles, giving visitors the rare chance to feel what top-tier hardware can actually do when pushed.
I watched players jump from mid-tier laptops at home to 165 Hz displays, ray-traced lighting and near-instant loading screens, and the difference in their reactions said more than any spec sheet could. Some sat down for five-minute demos and ended up staying for half an hour. It was easily one of the most energetic corners of the hall, with people circling back simply because the rigs made everything look and feel better.
A BGMI tournament? Yes, please
We all know that BGMI has a massive playerbase in India, and millions log in every day to take a shot at being the last man, or woman, standing. Android hosted a mini BGMI tournament at Delhi Comic Con this year and filled the room with that infectious Esports energy. Dozens of visitors gathered around to watch players battle it out live, and the energy in that room spiked every time a squad made a risky push or clutched a fight at the last second.
Even if you aren’t a competitive player, it was impossible not to get pulled into the momentum of it. Spectators shouted instructions, gasped collectively at close calls, and leaned forward whenever someone attempted a wild flank. It felt like a small-scale esports championship buried inside a convention hall, the kind of moment that reminded me just how seriously India takes its mobile gaming.
Logitech and Thrustmaster let fans feel the thrill of real sim racing
I am not a sim racing regular, but even I felt the lure of the Logitech and Thrustmaster setups. Their wheel-and-pedal rigs remained constantly occupied, with long lines of visitors waiting for a chance to race a few laps. And when I got a chance to try out the rig myself, I hopped into the driving seat.
Now, the difference between playing a racing game on a controller and experiencing it on a proper force feedback wheel is super dramatic. I suddenly found myself gripping the wheel tighter, leaning into turns, and reacting instinctively to every vibration. For a brief moment, it didn’t matter if I had never watched a Formula 1 race, because the hardware did a surprisingly good job of transporting me into that world.
As I headed home, tired but thoroughly satisfied, one thing was obvious. This wasn’t just a weekend of gaming; it was a glimpse of where the scene is headed. Bigger brands, better setups, louder tournaments and a crowd that genuinely cares. If that’s the direction we’re moving in, sign me up for the next one already.
