There's one way to describe the 2023 Game Developers Conference: GDC is back. The industry's premier event for game developers saw more than 28,000 registered attendees—more than doubling the number of in-person attendees from last year's event. And luckily, that's not all GDC has planned for 2023.
The GDC team strongly believes that diversity of perspective, ideas and experience is key to the success of the game industry and have made it our mission to champion underrepresented voices and create a safe space for all.

The smash hit from game director Hidetaka Miyazaki and fantasy writer George R. R. Martin received three awards in total—tying with Sony Santa Monica Studio’s 'God of War Ragnarök,' the recipient of this year's Audience Award.
In addition to the Grand Prize, Betrayal At Club also won the Nuovo Award—making Betrayal at Club Low the second game in IGF Awards history to win both the Grand Prize and the Nuovo Award in the same year (following Cart Life in 2013).
