Dubai Films & Games Commission Showcases 10 Locally Developed Games

The Dubai Films and Games Commission (DFGC) hosted the inaugural Dubai Playtest Night, bringing together local developers, independent studios and gaming enthusiasts to test 10 locally developed video games and provide feedback ahead of their release.

The showcase featured 2D and 3D titles from nine Dubai-based studios, ranging from university projects to games developed for festivals. Several drew inspiration from Arab culture and folklore, while others incorporated settings in the UAE.

Players were invited to try the games while developers observed their interactions, gathering feedback on gameplay, design and areas requiring improvement. The event provided studios with an opportunity to assess their projects through direct player experiences before bringing them to wider audiences.
