It’s a brand new year, and Day of the Devs is kicking it off with a bang with a lineup of exciting events happening in March, including the return of Day of the Devs: San Francisco Edition and an incredible exhibition of titles featured at this year’s Games Developer Conference.

Day of the Devs: San Francisco Edition is back once again and will take place on Sunday, March 16th at The Midway, bringing thousands of indie fans and developers together to play over 60 incredible hand-picked titles, featuring incredible music and tons of food and surprises — all free with no costs either to developers or attendees.

More details on the event can be found on the Eventbrite page here. Submissions for developers are open from now until February 3 here. As always, the team is looking for unique, diverse and beautiful indie games and projects across all genres and developers from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Continuing the week of fun, Day of The Devs is back at the Moscone Center with Day of the Devs: GDC Edition to showcase a smaller selection of titles hand-picked from the Day of the Devs: San Francisco Edition event.  Those attending GDC in San Francisco can stop by the West Hall during its open hours to get hands-on time with 12 unreleased games and chat with some of their creators. Additionally, members of the public 18+ can also stop by on Mon, Mar 17, 2025 and Thu, Mar 20, 2025 from 6:30PM PT – 10PM PT for a chance to check out the games for themselves through the GDC Nights Program.

Day of the Devs is a non-profit with the mission to celebrate the creativity, diversity and magic of video games. Day of the Devs gives a voice to emerging or underrepresented talent with platforms that connect players with developers, and their games. Day of the Devs takes on the form of virtual and physical events – all completely free, with no costs to either developers or attendees. Over the last 13 years, Day of the Devs has shined a spotlight on many hundreds of games, hosted tens of thousands of people at in-person events, and reached out to millions of viewers through virtual showcases.
