MegaJam

Ready to unleash your creativity along with thousands of talented individuals in the gaming community? Mark your calendars—the 2025 Epic MegaJam is just around the corner, and this year it’s extra special! 

Not only are we gearing up for another exciting competition, we’re also celebrating the Epic MegaJam’s 10-year anniversary.

This is more than just your average  game jam. It’s a festival of creativity where designers, developers, and gamers come together to push the limits of what’s possible in the Epic ecosystem. 

With a vibrant community of indie developers, AAA studios, students, and hobbyists all ready to participate, you'll find inspiration at every turn. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your game development journey, this event offers a unique platform to showcase your skills, learn from others, and create something truly special.

What can you expect this year?


The excitement kicks off with the announcement of this year's theme on the weekly Inside Unreal. The stream will kick off on Thursday, October 16th at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET on Twitch and YouTube with special guests representing this year’s sponsors, as we dive into all the details of the 2025 Epic MegaJam. 

The theme reveal, as well as other surprise details, will be revealed at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET during the stream. From that moment on, you’ll have seven days to craft a fun, playable experience that brings the theme to life. This is your chance to innovate, experiment, engage with the community—but most importantly, build and put something out there! 

You’ll need to register to take part in the Epic MegaJam—head to the Epic MegaJam Itch.io event page to do this.

One of the most thrilling parts of the MegaJam is the opportunity to compete for sponsored prizes. This year, we’re pleased to welcome first-time sponsors Wacom, Razer, and Diversion, with Logitech and SideFX returning to join the lineup of incredible sponsors. 

We’re also pleased to announce that we have more special modifier categories than ever before! That takes us up to a whopping 31 prize categories including the nine primary ones. All the details of these can be found on the 2025 Epic MegaJam Itch.io event page.
