Unreal Engine Memphis is participating in the event with Memphis Game Developers. Looking forward to attending this event. Sponsors listed are supporting the event directly. Unreal Engine Memphis is participating as a community attendee, not a sponsor.
Join us for Global Game Jam 2026, a week-long celebration of creativity, collaboration, and game development! Our Memphis site will be hosted primarily in person at the FedEx Institute of Technology, where jammers of all skill levels are welcome to come together, form teams, and create something amazing.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops and equipment. You’re also free to team up with others on-site to build your game together.
For those who prefer to stay at home and participate remotely, you are welcome to register as well. You can upload a video of your project to a media platform so we can showcase your work to the rest of the community.
We plan to attempt limited streaming from the venue through the official Bevy event page & Twitch; however, this is not guaranteed.
We look forward to seeing you there and making this year’s jam unforgettable!
