Proud to connect, share, and grow at the External Development Summit 2025.

First held in 2013, the External Development Summit (XDS) is the only annual, international games industry event with a primary focus on external development for art, animation, audio, software engineering, QA, and localization.
From art to QA, XDS helps buyers find trusted partners to scale production efficiently.

XDS gathers hundreds of international Buyers and Service Providers from over 55 countries to advance the practice of external development for the games industry.

Notable companies that have attended XDS include Microsoft Studios, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Electronic Arts, Activision, Ubisoft, and Riot Games.

Many video game developers and external art and animation companies have acquired valuable partnerships through this proprietary event platform – XDS Connect, an ultimate networking powerhouse, which has facilitated up to 17,400 B2B meetings between Service Providers and Buyers.

This makes XDS 2025 Vancouver the top global event for external game development.
