Calling all indie developers! Are you currently working on a new mobile, PC, or console game?
What is the Big Indie Pitch?
The Big Indie Pitch (Mobile + PC + Console edition) takes place within PG Connects Summit San Francisco 2026.
This unique quick-fire format gives each developer five minutes (including Q&A) with each panel of experts, meaning all entrants will get feedback in real-time and post-event via email too. Think speed-dating for developers and experts, and you get the idea.
What do you win?
Aside from direct feedback on your game from established industry figures, the top three will also be interviewed and get editorial coverage in PocketGamer.biz, PCGamesInsider, The Virtual Report and beyond, making this a great chance to get you, your studio and your game played by the world. There’s also free tickets and event space at a future Pocket Gamer Connects up for grabs to the winner too.
When does it take place?
The Big Indie Pitch (Mobile + PC + Console edition) is scheduled to run on Monday, March 9. The session timings are 2pm–5pm (registration @ 1:30pm).
