It's time for an encore you won't forget. Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory returns to the GDC Main Stage for a new concert celebrating iconic games from around the world.
Following the success of last year's inaugural GDC concert, we've invited Austin back for 2025's GDC Main Stage: The Developer's Concert, an all-new show featuring a diverse slate of classics and deep cuts. Inspired by our 2025 theme of "Connecting the World Through Games," this year's concert will include music from international games and creators. Austin will be joined by the esteemed San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM), with lots of surprises and special guests.
Early Bird Registration is open (for a limited time)!

The three-time Grammy-nominated and two-time BAFTA winning composer has worked on a wide variety of titles spanning games, film, TV and the concert hall. Most known for his work on the PlayStation 3 game Journey, his other games include The Banner Saga trilogy, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, ABZU, The Pathless, Erica, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, LEGO Fornite, and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, among many others.
All attendees of every pass level are invited to attend the event on Wednesday, March 19th from 12:30-1:30pm PT at the GDC Main Stage, located on Lobby Level of West Hall in Moscone Convention Center (doors open at 12:00pm). The concert will also be available to watch live for free on GDC Twitch.
