Philippine GameDev Expo 2026 is positioned as the country’s largest gathering for game developers, publishers, creators, and industry professionals, returning 24–26 July 2026 at the SMX Convention Center Manila. The event highlights the rapidly growing Filipino game‑development ecosystem through international exhibitors, a vibrant indie showcase, B2B and B2C networking, cosplay, esports, and a full slate of panels and workshops led by regional and global industry figures. Its mission is to elevate Filipino talent while connecting local creators with global opportunities, making it a key annual touchpoint for Southeast Asia’s expanding games industry.

The expo is organised by CBZN Perspective and the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP), the same partnership that launched the inaugural 2023 edition and continues to shape PGDX as a platform for professional growth and community celebration. Attendance numbers for 2026 have not yet been published, but the event is consistently promoted as the biggest game‑development expo in the Philippines, drawing large crowds across developers, fans, students, and industry partners. Official pass prices for 2026 have not been released; current public materials list dates, venue, and programming but do not include ticketing tiers.
