Five GDC Play studios have been selected to pitch their games to an opinionated panel of investors and publishers, in front of a live audience (no pressure!) followed by questions, advice, and feedback before the judges declare the day's "Best Pitch" and award a free GDC 2027 Game Changer Pass. Each year, the theater fills to capacity, as the developers compete for the judges' praise.
