WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN US

GameDev Summit 2025 was special this year with the networking day on the first day which allowed everyone to get to warm up and meet each other before the next two days of talks, networking and workshops. Great venue for conversation, business and collaboration! Thank you to GameOps Inc. Chris Wren Andro Baluyut for the invitation to be this year’s Keynote speaker on the XDS MainStage.

From the high-quality attendees and insightful sessions to the unbeatable beachfront location, GDS was an incredible experience—both for my first time in the Philippines and CDR’s first trip to East Asia.

With a strong foundation of senior studio talent, growing government support, a centralized location for Southeast Asia with a passionate community, the future of Filipino gamedev looks incredibly bright. Excited to see GameDev Summit continue to grow as a key industry event!
