Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition Announced for December 2023

The Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition has been announced, an event that will “spotlight indie games and developers alongside the video games industry’s annual year-end celebration.” A showcase will occur on December 6, 2023, with a “free in-person event for the games industry and community in Downtown Los Angeles on December 8th.”

“To make room in the calendar for this new event in Los Angeles, the original Day of the Devs live show –which has taken place in San Francisco for the last decade–will be moving to a new date in the first few months of the year. Because of this, the next live Day of the Devs live show in San Francisco will not be this November, but a few months later in early 2024.”

Geoff Keighley, creator and executive producer of The Game Awards, said the following regarding this announcement:

“The goal of The Game Awards is to celebrate as many games as possible. We’re excited to welcome Day of the Devs: TGA Edition to our week-long celebration of games, which will further spotlight independent games from around the world.”

Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine Productions and co-founder of Day of the Devs, said the following regarding this announcement:

“It will be hard to wait the extra time until our next live show in San Francisco. But we promise that because of this move, the San Francisco show will be better than ever, taking place at a time when even more folks will be in town so that they can attend in person. So now you have even more choices where to see great indie games and meet the devs who made them.”

Developers wanting to submit their game for the in-person event can do so via this Google Form, with select ones being invited for the livestream showcase.
