Catch Must-See Sessions from GDC 2023

People crowded around glowing monitors, the ambience of in-game sound effects, the pulsating energy of haptic feedback—the sights and sounds of game development were back on full display at GDC 2023. The developer community arrived in San Francisco in numbers and style to network, ideate, and learn from some of the top minds and companies in the industry.

We were honored to join the fun, celebrating the achievements of game developers everywhere and sharing exciting experiences and insights to help you unlock new perspectives on VR and mixed reality.

Meta Quest Pro and Presence Platform are catalyzing mixed reality’s journey from a futuristic concept to a staple of everyday experiences on our platform—and many developers are already building games fueled by this breakthrough technology.

See real examples of games pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on Meta Quest and hear from developers at Moon Mode, Odders Lab, Tender Claws, and Vanbo as they discuss challenges, opportunities, and advice for building mixed reality games.

Before launching on Meta Quest in late 2022, Marvel’s Iron Man VR was optimized to improve performance and pack a punch on standalone VR. Hear from Camouflaj’s Matt Walker, along with developers at Endeavor One as they take you through their process and share insights to help optimize your apps on Meta Quest.

From improving load times to tightening gameplay to using A/B tests to drive sales, this session offers a blueprint for developers looking to create games that feel smooth, look incredible, and make a splash in the Meta Quest Store.

Presence Platform is our suite of machine learning and AI-based capabilities taking social and environmental interactions on Meta Quest to the next level—from integrating users’ surroundings to realistic movements fueled by face, eye, and body tracking.
