Check Out These Fantastic GDC 2022 Highlights (Part 2)

The 2022 Game Developers Conference wrapped up late March as a wonderful success—with 12,000 people attending in-person and another 5,000 joining virtually. Here are some more Game Developer's coverage highlights from that week.

It was the largest conference in San Francisco in the past two years. GDC 2022 featured over 1,000 speakers across over 600 lectures, workshops, and roundtable discussions and networking events, physically reuniting the game dev community. 

GDC's sister publication Game Developer was on the ground covering some of the biggest news, sessions, and surprises from the weeklong event. We've put together a list of some exciting articles from GDC 2022, with more to be found here
