IGN will livestream the 3rd Annual DevGAMM Awards on 18 November, broadcasting from Lisbon, Portugal, to celebrate outstanding independent games and their development teams. The ceremony will be shown on IGN.com and IGN's YouTube channel, with prizes handed out across 13 categories, including four new ones added this year: Best Small Team Game, Best Game in Early Development, Meaningful Game and DevGAMM Choice.

Over the past two years the DevGAMM Awards have drawn more than 1,000 game submissions and honoured nearly 30 winners, including Manor Lords, Cairn, Keep Driving, Drop Duchy and Yes, Your Grace: Snowfall. Entries are judged by over 150 industry professionals from companies such as Riot Games, Epic Games, Unity, Meta and Larian Studios, with participating teams receiving feedback throughout the process. Submissions are free and open to indie developers and small studios worldwide, with an application deadline of 7 September 2026.
