Are you a gamer? Here's some good news: the Indian Game Expo (IGX) is back in town, and it's bigger and better this time around.

IGX will feature competitive tournaments around popular games like FIFA 17, WWE 2K17, Mortal Kombat XL, PES 2017 and Counter-Strike, where you stand the chance to win cash and prizes worth lakhs.

Last year, IGX hosted India's first large-scale cosplay competition focused purely on gaming. This time, it's spread over two days, with a cash prize of Rs 1 lakh up for grabs.

There's more in store. With hardware giants like Asus and Alienware showcasing their gaming PCs, visitors will get a glimpse of the latest in high-end PC gaming technology. The expo also features a stellar line-up of the latest blockbuster games, such as No Man's Sky, Mafia III, FIFA 17 and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, among others.

Apart from this, Sony's PlayStation VR virtual reality headset - which works with the PS4 console - will be in India for the first time at IGX. There are also great deals on games, hardware and merchandise to look forward to.

The best part? There's no entry or participation fee. All you need to do is register yourself online or at the venue, and you're good to go.
