Schneider Electric has announced the availability of its APC™ Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in Europe. Celebrating 40 years of Legendary Reliability and leadership in critical power protection during 2024, the new, stylish, and state-of-the-art UPS has been designed to protect gaming equipment from power outages and deliver a robust power connection, despite energy spikes and failures.
As the first UPS specifically designed with gamers, streamers, and influencers in mind, APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming by Schneider Electric delivers uninterruptible power protection, even in regions where the grid is unstable – keeping GPU-powered PCs, leading consoles, streamers, and gamers connected to both their online gaming experiences and audiences, regardless of power disruptions.
To deliver robust protection, APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming UPS features sine wave battery backup power – delivering the smooth electrical current required by sensitive electronics and AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation), and helping to protect against power irregularities that can result in glitches and buffering during an outage to extend the lifespan of gaming equipment.
APC Back-UPS™ Pro Gaming also features a patented reactor circle which is visible from every angle, providing the status of the UPS’ remaining battery power, and details on surges, dips, power outages, while highlighting building wiring faults.

• Functional Lighting: When the Gaming UPS detects a power anomaly — like surges, dips, and even wiring faults — it notifies gamers with pulsing lights.
• Six Battery Back-up Outlets: Complete with surge protection, the unit instantly powers sensitive electronics, such as an Xbox, PlayStation, PCs, TVs, or routers/modems, during a power loss.
• Four Additional Surge-Only Outlets: Designed to protect against unsafe power surges and “hard shutdowns” that can permanently damage equipment.
• Three Front USB Ports: To recharge devices, like a gaming headsets and mobile phones.
• Custom Design: Available in two colour options – Arctic (BGM1500) and Midnight (BGM1500B), both with 12 customizable RGB LED lights to match a user’s gaming setup.
