VIVA! Community & Player Feedback 2026 takes place November 6–8, 2026 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex, bringing together developers, UX researchers, community managers, and players to explore the future of player‑driven design. Hosted by VIVA! Interactive, the event focuses on how feedback loops, live‑service engagement, and community insights shape modern game development. Attendees can expect panels on player psychology, data‑driven iteration, and ethical communication, alongside workshops on building inclusive, responsive communities. The summit’s goal is to bridge the gap between creators and audiences, empowering studios to design experiences that evolve through authentic player collaboration.

The 2026 edition expands with a dedicated Player Voice Lab, where developers test prototypes directly with attendees, and a Community Impact Awards ceremony celebrating excellence in engagement and transparency. With speakers from Bungie, CD Projekt RED, and Supercell, VIVA! Community & Player Feedback 2026 offers actionable insights for studios of all sizes. The event’s mix of research, creativity, and open dialogue makes it a cornerstone for anyone shaping the next generation of player‑centric games.
