100 games. 800 players. 1 night. And pizza. Join us for our next big Expo on May 3rd at Microsoft!
Over 200 game developers will be showing off their latest games one-on-one to a crowd of 800 people. For developers, this is a great opportunity to show off their games (finished or unfinished) and get direct feedback from players. For everyone else, it’s a unique opportunity to try out the biggest collection of games made in and around NYC all in one place. Each game gets its own booth as players meet the developers and try out their games. Throw pizza into the mix and you get Playcrafting’s biggest event!
Play the future of games.
Our annual showcase highlights the daring and innovative work of the graduate and undergraduate students of the NYU Game Center. Check out over 100 projects ranging from one week experiments in our Prototype Studio course to year-long thesis and capstone work.
Games first debuted at our annual Student Showcase have gone on to critical and commercial success, winning major awards, showing in festivals all over the world, and launching on console, PC, and mobile. Be the first to play this exciting cohort of games.
Free and open to the public.
