Each Day of the Devs presentation lasts about an hour and showcases a series of extremely cool-looking indie games from a variety of genres, with commentary from the creators. The games featured are curated by industry veterans at Day of the Devs, and past shows have offered early looks at future hits such as Animal Well, Blue Prince, Cocoon, Despelote, Crow Country, Phoenix Springs, History of Skateboarding, UFO 50, Eternal Nights, Sorry We're Closed and many others.
Day of the Devs is a non-profit organization that provides a platform for select independent creators to showcase their games to a wide audience for free.

The 2025 Game Awards will begin on Thursday, December 11th at 7:30 pm ET with a half-hour pre-show. All this, of course, will last longer than one hour, but together we will find out whether there will be more game discoveries there than at Developer Day.
