Global Game Jam 2026

TU Wien is hosting the Global Game Jam for the fourth year in a row. We welcome you again in a hybrid format.

 

Join us for a 48-hour session of game development starting at 16:30 on January 30, in FAV Hörsaal 1 Helmut Veith. The official jam theme reveal and kick-off will take place at the start of the event. You do not need previous game-making experience, and you can find a team on site - there will be a short team-forming session over pizza after the opening.

 

This year’s jam is sponsored by Snap. Participants will have access to a limited number of Snap Spectacles for jam development, as well as a technical introduction to Lens Studio - Snap’s development environment, on Friday, after the intro talk. We will also provide access to the Mixed Reality Lab, including VR headsets and motion capture equipment, where teams can record their own animations.

 

Register and join us on Discord for updates, coordination, and practical information, including how you will be supported throughout the event and how to follow the opening and closing broadcasts if you plan to attend online.

 

Looking forward to welcoming you to the event!
