ARGOS attended the global event GDC (Game Developers Conference) 2025, where game developers from around the world gather in one place!
Instead of setting up a booth, ARGOS focused on on-site networking and business meetings. Through these meetings, we were able to have in-depth conversations with professionals from the gaming industry.
Meeting countless innovators shaping the future of gaming was a deeply impressive experience for ARGOS as well.
What Is GDC?
GDC (Game Developers Conference) is the world’s largest conference for game developers, held annually in San Francisco.
It covers all aspects of game development including game design, engine technology, sound, UX, and production. This global B2B-focused event brings together everyone from AAA game studios and indie developers to platform companies and tech startups.
At this year’s GDC 2025, trends related to AI, Web3, and multiplayer game platforms garnered particular attention and ARGOS also gained attention with its AI identity verification solution that strengthens trust in the gaming industry.
What Did We Focus on During Our Interactions?
At GDC, ARGOS met with various game companies and tech firms to discuss identity verification issues that can arise in game services and how to respond to related regulations.
The ARGOS solutions that drew particular interest included:
Age Verification
– A must-have feature for game companies needing to restrict access for minors!
Face ID-based User Authentication
– Secure player verification for Web3 games and decentralized platforms
Anti-bot Technology Support
– Effectively blocks multiple accounts, bot play, and automated fraudulent users
These features are all designed to help game companies prevent fraud, comply with regulations, and create a fair operating environment.
Why Global Identity Verification Matters in the Gaming Industry Now
Recently, the gaming industry has evolved beyond mere entertainment into platformization, financialization, and globalization.
Especially
– Complying with age restrictions by country
– Blocking fraudulent users and fostering a fair competitive environment
– Ensuring transparency in paid content and reward structures
– Simplifying onboarding for Web3 games
At the core of all these issues lies the fundamental question: “Who is playing this game?”—a matter of identity verification.
ARGOS’s identity verification solution provides a foundation that enables game companies to easily meet technical and regulatory requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions from Game Companies
At GDC, many game company representatives asked the following questions:
“Can age verification be automated according to each country's restrictions?”
“Can users with only a Web3 wallet still be verified?”
“Can it be integrated seamlessly into the existing sign-up flow?”
ARGOS responded to these questions with technical demos, presenting various scenarios centered around a low-barrier, link-based verification system.
ARGOS’s Direction Optimized for the Gaming Industry
ARGOS is a technology partner for gaming. To build a fair and secure gaming ecosystem, we are developing a scalable and regulation-friendly identity verification system, especially enhancing features that address key issues in the gaming industry such as age restrictions, bot prevention, and building user trust.
“From Web3 to multiplayer platforms,
a secure and seamless onboarding process is more important than ever.”
For example, game platforms may require higher levels of security than regular users.
ARGOS can customize the authentication process to meet these requirements,
and provide optimized identity verification using machine learning analysis on collected data.
ARGOS Identity’s “ID check” is a comprehensive and flexible solution designed to address fraudulent user issues, offering security optimized for the gaming industry.
Especially in cases where even regular users try to obtain multiple accounts using macro programs, simple pattern analysis is no longer sufficient to detect fraudulent users.
ID check uses massive datasets and advanced AI-based analysis to fundamentally block sophisticated fraudulent users.
In the future, the customized machine learning model being prepared for ID check will meet each client’s unique security needs and provide even more precise detection capabilities.
Through conversations with numerous innovative companies preparing for the “next” stage of the gaming industry at GDC 2025, ARGOS has refined its advanced product roadmap and returned more ready than ever.
