The Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX) has officially launched HATCH, a new online platform dedicated to showcasing Filipino-made games and connecting local game developers with players, publishers, investors, media, and industry partners.
Designed as a year-round extension of the Philippine GameDev Expo, HATCH serves as a centralized digital hub where independent studios and aspiring developers can present their games beyond the expo floor, increasing their visibility and expanding opportunities for collaboration and business growth.
The platform allows visitors to discover a growing catalog of locally developed titles across multiple genres and platforms while learning more about the studios and creators behind each project. By providing dedicated developer profiles and game pages, HATCH aims to strengthen the discoverability of Philippine-made games both locally and internationally.
As the Philippine game development industry continues to gain recognition on the global stage, HATCH represents another step toward building a stronger ecosystem for local talent. The platform provides developers with an accessible avenue to showcase their work while giving publishers, investors, content creators, and members of the media a convenient way to explore emerging projects from across the country.
For aspiring developers, HATCH also serves as a source of inspiration by highlighting the creativity and diversity of the Philippine game development community. Whether users are looking for narrative-driven adventures, competitive multiplayer experiences, mobile titles, or experimental indie games, the platform offers a snapshot of the country’s expanding creative landscape.
The launch of HATCH aligns with PGDX’s broader mission of supporting and promoting the Philippine game industry through initiatives that encourage innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth. By extending the reach of developers beyond annual events, the platform helps create continuous opportunities for discovery, networking, and industry engagement throughout the year.
As more studios join the platform, HATCH is expected to become a valuable resource for anyone interested in Philippine game development, from gamers looking to support local creations to business partners seeking the next promising title or development team.
Developers interested in showcasing their projects and visitors looking to explore Filipino-made games can learn more by visiting HATCH by PGDX.
The launch of HATCH also builds momentum toward the Philippine GameDev Expo (PGDX) 2026, which is set to take place July 24 to 26, 2026. As one of the country’s premier gaming and game development events, PGDX continues to bring together developers, publishers, creators, students, industry professionals, and gaming enthusiasts for three days of game showcases, networking opportunities, business matchmaking, and community engagement.
