Alienware and Twitch bring immersive gaming portal to Grand Central

NEW YORK - Alienware and Twitch are launching an interactive gaming experience called "The Artifact" at New York City’s Grand Central Terminal starting today through October 31, 2025. The initiative comes as Dell’s gaming division continues to strengthen its market position, with the parent company generating over $101 billion in revenue over the last twelve months. According to InvestingPro analysis, Dell remains a prominent player in the Technology Hardware industry.

The five-day event, set up in Vanderbilt Hall, features a sci-fi-inspired portal where up to three participants can collaborate on glyph-matching puzzles designed to "stabilize a rift in time and space." The environment changes with visual effects including frost and energy pulses as players progress through the challenges.

Successful participants will receive prizes from a "glowing loot box," with rewards including Alienware gaming peripherals and backpacks. The grand prize consists of four custom Alienware Area-51 Gaming Desktops valued at approximately $5,000 each, though residents of Florida, New York, Hawaii, and Alaska are excluded from winning the top prize due to local regulations.

For those unable to attend in person, popular Twitch streamers including Valkyrae, Symfuhny, and Ludwig will broadcast daily from the installation between 6-8 PM ET Monday through Thursday, and 4-6 PM ET on Friday. Online viewers can participate in challenges that will trigger real-time effects within the physical installation.

The experience culminates in a multi-stream finale on Halloween, where creators and their communities will compete in what the company describes as a "high-stakes showdown."

The installation will be open from noon to 8 PM ET Monday through Thursday, and noon to 6 PM ET on Friday.

The gaming division’s marketing push comes as Dell’s stock has shown remarkable momentum, trading near its 52-week high of $166.10, reflecting strong investor confidence in the company’s strategic initiatives.
