About
PLAY.nyc, now in its 10th year, is New York's premier gaming event. Created to give indies and small studios the opportunity to showcase their games; both digital and tabletop, in an event full of other devs, gamers and industry professionals. These events are often momentous in getting developers feedback, wishlists, sales and introductions that help propel their success.
PLAY.nyc is a Playcrafting production; Playcrafting believes that indies and small studios are the next gen of the games industry. We've taken PLAY.nyc from a smaller event with 4,000 attendees across a 2-day weekend; to the Javits Center with 100,000 attendees across a 3-day weekend. Keeping our exhibitors very busy in thanks to our partnership with Anime NYC!
Thank you to our game developer community and the city of NYC for making the event what it is. Special thank you to our premier partner, Anime NYC, for supporting game developers and events in NYC throughout the year.
