Attendees can look forward to a wide range of activities, including game showcases, workshops, and industry panels led by key figures from both the Philippine and international game scenes.
PGDX 2025 highlights its commitment to nurturing homegrown talent by providing spaces for indie creators, students, and start-ups to present their games, connect with mentors, and receive valuable feedback. Several programs will also focus on business development, with matchmaking opportunities that link developers with investors, publishers, and service providers from around the world.
Alongside the business and development focus, the event caters to gamers and enthusiasts with demo areas, exclusive game previews, esports tournaments, and cosplay competitions.
