Qualcomm will no longer announce updates to its Snapdragon G Series gaming chips at the 2026 Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. Despite earlier hints that it would expand its Arm-based push into Windows gaming handhelds, there will be no updates for the Qualcomm Snapdragon G Series in this year's GDC. The company also confirmed it will not provide hands-on access or benchmarks for the recently announced Snapdragon X Series updates during the event. Qualcomm spokesperson Cassandra Garcia-Bacha makes a statement to The Verge: “Snapdragon X Series and Snapdragon G Series processors are pushing the PC, desktop, and handheld gaming device industries forward. Qualcomm has announced that its annual Snapdragon Summit will take place from September 22 to 24, 2026, in Hawaii, where the company is expected to introduce its next-generation Snapdragon processors. Industry reports also suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series could be Qualcomm's first flagship mobile processors manufactured using a 2nm process, although the company has yet to confirm the manufacturing details or pricing.
