About Glasgow Indie Games Festival
The Glasgow Independent Games Festival is a celebration of indie games. We pride ourselves in showing the most interesting, the most moving and the most unconventional games from Scotland and around the world.
Expect lots of games to play – unreleased and upcoming titles from the most talented developers. And there’s lots more too, we’ll have interviews, talks, music and maybe even some poetry!
You all loved our first GIGF in 2024, well now we’re back with a bigger and better event for 2025.
The Glasgow Independent Games Festival is an all day event. We’ll have a bumper set of indie games for you to play, from some of the most talented developers around.
During the day we have a series of developer talks, workshops and discussions, allowing you to peek inside the sausage machine and even argue with the gristle. In the evening there will be live entertainment, music, poetry and an award ceremony for our audience-voted Best in Show.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
