GBA Jam 2026
The event is hosted by the the gbadev.net community. We're promoting the development of new GBA homebrew games, development tools and documentation. Join us on Discord and check out our curated collection of gbadev resources.
The full-scale GBA game jam is back again for 2026 - just in time for the console's 25th anniversary!
Powerful enough to bring your visions to life, yet portable enough for emulation on any modern device, the Game Boy Advance is a perfect retro handheld system for creating homebrew games, no matter the scope. And with tons of freely available community-maintained documentation and development libraries and tools written in C, C++, Rust, Zig and other popular languages, learning to program for the GBA has never been more accessible!
You have 3 months to make something cool that runs on the Game Boy Advance, using whatever tools you like!
