RAGE - THE "REALLY AWESOME GAMING EXPERIENCE" - WAS held at Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg in December 2023 for its 21st outing.
It's one of South Africa's longest running gaming events, and only took a break during the lockdown. Its legacy, however, ensures a massive returning audience every year.
The rAge 2023 event saw all the fan-favourite features return: cosplay, new tech, gaming competitions, the NAG LAN, and more kept attendees engaged over the three days. For gamers on a budget there were some great deals on gaming peripherals and computers, while a number of high-end gaming rigs were available at impressive discounts thanks to PCBuilder and MSI.
