Courage XL 2025
March 16 @ 19:00 - 23:30 PDT
Get Ready for Courage XL!
The most informal and friendly Indie Showcase, happening just before GDC kicks off. Over 50 indie developers will present their work at the Great Northern in San Francisco on Sunday evening, right before GDC begins. It’s the perfect place to break the ice for a week full of networking, mingling, and partying.
Courage XL has one rule: play a game, and you might get a free drink.
Showcasers hold drink tokens that can only be earned by playing their game!
