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.
We can hardly believe we’re saying this, but it's the final day of the 2023 Game Developers Conference! It's been wonderful getting a chance to connect with the global game dev community, and we're excited for what today has in store.
We've reached Day 4 of GDC 2023! If you’re feeling a bit tired from last night’s incredible IGF and GDCA ceremony, we’ve got what you need to make it a fantastic Thursday at the event.
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).
The stage is set for another stellar day of talks, roundtables, networking, and more at the Game Developers Conference. The GDC Expo opens today, core sessions have begun, and the Main Stage is set for "the Future of Play"—along with the IGF Awards and Game Developers Choice Awards!
It's time for Day 2 of the Game Developers Conference! Tuesday features even more summits, sessions, sponsored summits, and special events for our attendees.
It's the week we've been waiting for all year: The 2023 Game Developers Conference has returned to the Moscone Convention Center. We're kicking things off with an incredible first day of summits, talks, sponsored summits, and events.
It's almost time for the Game Developers Choice Awards and 25th annual Independent Games Festival Awards, happening at GDC 2023 in San Francisco on March 23. Here's how you can join us—whether in-person or watching the ceremony from home.
Game developers spend their careers creating main characters: Now, you get to be one. Extra Lives: The Live Experience is coming to GDC 2023 for one performance only—promising an unexpected, unpredictable, and definitely unforgettable experience.
GDC Play at the Game Developers Conference showcases a number of unique and fascinating video games that show off the future of the industry. Eight games are selected as "Best in Play" by a panel of Game Developer editors. Winners receive Best in Play designation onsite at GDC and complimentary passes for the following year.
GDC may be a lot of fun, but sometimes it's good to take a breather! That's why GDC 2023 is happy to offer free meditation sessions for our attendees—as well as a Lofi playlist to help you relax and focus.
The SF Bicycle Coalition will be managing a bike valet onsite free of cost for GDC attendees. It will be located in The Paseo Alleyway off 3rd Street between Howard and Folsom.
Whether you're a first-time attendee or wanting a refresher, sometimes it's nice to get a crash course in what to see and do while at GDC 2023. It's time for GDC 101!
