Celebrate National Video Game Day with HP’s New OMEN & HyperX Products
This Thursday, September 12th, is National Video Game Day, and HP is celebrating the diverse and growing gaming community with our latest HP OMEN and HyperX products. In Australia, the number of gamers is expected to reach 10 million by 2024, reflecting the broad appeal of gaming across different segments of the population.
Building on insights from the HP’s gamer analysis – where 96% of gamers prioritise performance when considering a product and 84% value the ability to upgrade and customise their rigs – HP’s latest OMEN and HyperX products are designed to meet these priorities and give gamers greater control over their setup – whether they are amateur players, gaming enthusiasts, or professional gamers.
