STATE OF NOXIDE - MAY 2026

Greetings everyone! With spring in full bloom, the team at Noxide is gearing up for our official opening this summer. Although we had hoped to welcome you sooner, the extra time has allowed us to overcome some unexpected hurdles and refine every detail so your fun is seamless right from the start.

So what’s been happening this month? We’ve been working on finalizing our stage design and collecting the materials we’ll need to drive a state-of-the-art esports arena. We’ve got some exciting new designs to share with you that will be much more representative of the final product. 

We’re progressing well in our LAN Center too, with the desk layout finalized and power and network on their way to completion by early June. While we wait for that to be done, we’ve started assembling our client machines. Take a look at those RGBs!

We also built out a complete test setup to get a feel for what it’s going to be like gaming here. While you’ll be welcome (and encouraged!) to bring your own peripherals for maximum comfort, we’re providing full kits of premium keyboards, mice, and headsets for anyone to use. Check it out below!

Peripherals:

• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix 27” 180hz Gaming Monitor

• Mouse: Logitech G403 Hero Gaming Mouse

• Keyboard: Steel Series Apex 3 RGB Gaming Keyboard

• Headphones: Logitech Pro X Gaming Headset

Internal Components:

• CPU: Ryzen 7700X 4.5 GHz

• GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 5070 Ti OC

• RAM: 32GB HYPERX DDR5

Finally, we’re working on building out our competitive ecosystem - and we need your help! Complete the form here to show your interest and let us know which games you’d like to see featured on the stage. We’ve got some new staff members here to build out our competitions, fill out that form and you’ll hear from them very soon!

That’s all for this month. We’ve got some exciting events coming up in June, so stay tuned for that! And if you’re planning to attend any of the gaming events happening in Baltimore June 6th, keep an eye out for our logo...
