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 Monday, March 17, 2025, and Thursday, March 20, 2025, from 6:30 PM PT to 10 PM PT through the GDC Nights Program to check out the games for themselves.

What is Day of the Devs?

Established in 2012 by Double Fine Productions and iam8bit as a way to give back to their supportive communities, Day of the Devs is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that celebrates the creativity, diversity, and magic of video games.

In over ten years, the non-profit has evolved into a fully independent organization with the help of various collaborators, organizers, and partners to give a voice to emerging or underrepresented talent with platforms that connect players with developers and their games.

Day of the Devs takes the form of virtual and physical events—all completely free, with no costs to either developers or attendees. Since its inception, Day of the Devs has spotlighted hundreds of games, hosted tens of thousands of people at in-person events and reached out to millions of viewers through virtual showcases.

The organization is always accepting donations to continue producing events like this. Those interested in contributing can find out more here.
