Registration for Bit1 2026 is now open!

Teams, it’s time to start your engines – especially your game engines – and prepare for this amazing adventure that’s about to begin! Registration is open until Sunday, 22.2. at 23:59, so you have exactly one month to prepare the following materials:

  • Your game design canvas (template available on our website)
  • Your game core loop video (1 minute long)

This year’s PreBits are held in the following cities:

  • PreBit Helsinki – 19.3. and 20.3. (choose one)
  • PreBit Tampere – 18.3.
  • PreBit Turku – TBA
  • PreBit Jyväskylä – TBA
  • PreBit Kajaani – TBA
  • PreBit Rovaniemi – 11.3.
  • PreBit Online – 11.3.

Please note that some PreBits may get cancelled if there aren’t enough participating teams. If that happens, we will contact you and you can always choose a different PreBit city or participate in PreBit Online.  

We also have new regulations regarding AI and assets: AI and purchased or stock assets can be freely used, but you must be transparent about them and clearly describe how they have been used.
Note: Excessive use of AI and purchased/stock assets may have a negative impact on the judges’ evaluation.

And remember: when you apply, everything doesn’t need to be fully ready or polished. We will give you a final deadline for updated materials closer to your PreBit!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Now it’s time! Game engines ready? Good!
Ready… set… GO!!!!!
