Thank you, developers, for creating, submitting, and showcasing your newest games.
Thank you, publishers, press, investors, and platform holders for signing up and joining as guests.

Thank you all for submitting 100 outstanding games. We are just preparing the final selection, conversing with the potential exhibiting teams and partners, and are preparing the showcase in San Francisco. Forms for declaring your interest in visiting (Publishers, Press, Investors and Platform Holders only) will open soon.

(Update January 13, 2022)

We decided to extend the deadline for submissions to January 21. As we wanted to reach out and take the time to update you on our plans of processing further on. As we are aware of the huge uncertainty again connected to international travel – and that uncertainty includes ourselves of course, too.

As we are assessing the situation ourselves as well, please don´t hold back submitting your games. We understand that you are not 100% sure if you will be able to attend GDC. At this point no one is.

We have planned on an online alternative in case an on-site GDC is not possible. At this point, it’s too early to make a final decision if our event will be physical or online, but for organizational reasons, there is no way we can delay our selection process further than a week.

So in case you are thinking of going to GDC, please submit your game by January, 21st! Thank you!

The European Game Showcase at GDC 2022

We are back with the 2022 edition of The European Game Showcase at GDC 2022! After two years of turmoil, we are super excited to bring back the physical event experience of EGS as the spot-on event bringing opportunities to developers at GDC 2022.

The Call for Games is open !

Be one of 30+ games from Europe showcasing in an invite-online setting away from the hustle-bustle of GDC, so submit your fresh games here right now: (Open from December 10, 2021)

The deadline is January 21, 2022 (extended from January 14, 2022). See here for context.

And before you are asking: yes, we have a backup plan for a wonderful online exhibition experience, too – but as we are focusing on creating a physical experience for people to meet in person, we are only accepting submissions by developers, who intend to showcase in person at GDC 2022 first and foremost.
