It's not a competition, obviously - but it's absolutely bananas that GMTK Game Jam 2026 actually received more submissions than this year's Global Game Jam. That makes GMTK the biggest game jam in existence.
(Maybe GGJ allowing AI-generated submissions put some devs off... who knows?)

Time extend! To account for issues with late submissions, the jam has received an extra 1 hour added to the original submission time.
This is not time for you to add extra features or bugfix. This is to help those who had slow builds or issues with submitting to itch get their games in!
