About Glasgow Independent Games Festival

The Glasgow Independent Games Festival is a celebration of indie games. We pride ourselves in showing the most interesting, the weirdest, the most moving and 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!

From the team that brought you the Southside Games Festival, we're back with a bigger and better event for 2024.

The Glasgow Independent Games Festival is an all day event. We'll have 10 amazing indie games for you to play, from some of the most talented developers in the country. During the day we have a series of developer talks, if you want to learn more about how the games you love are made. In the evening there will be live entertainment, music, poetry and an award ceremony for our audience-voted Best in Show.
