Creator Club
The GCX Creator Club connects passionate creators with opportunities to grow, build community, and be part of something bigger.
Whether you make cozy content, dive into survival horror, dominate in competitive play, or have carved out a niche all your own, we’re looking for creators who bring something special to their audiences and the larger gaming community. The program is open to established names and up-and-coming creators alike.
GCX is a creator-driven gaming event set inside a vacation destination, built for extended time with your audience and direct access to the studios and brands behind the games you play.

Example run
Your community buys 10 Weekend Passes, 3 GCX 3-Day Ultimate Passes and 4 Friday Passes with your code. That is 20 + 6 + 4 = 30 points. GCX After Dark, the Epic Universe park day and three hotel nights are yours, and you are 20 points from your flight.
How it works
- Every approved member gets a personal code. Your viewers save 10% on every GCX 2027 ticket type, any time before the event.
- Rewards stack as you climb. Reach 50 points and you have After Dark, the Epic Universe park day, three hotel nights and your flight.
- Adult admission passes bought with your code earn points. Kids tickets and standalone After Dark tickets still get the discount but do not earn points.
- We send you your points total every week so you always know where you stand.
- Flights are round-trip economy from the continental US. Members flying from Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US territories or outside the US have their flight tier confirmed when approved.
- Travel and hotel rewards must be unlocked by June 18, 2027 so we can book your trip. Rewards are for the member only, are non-transferable and have no cash value.
How We Review Applications
Every application is manually reviewed by our team, looking beyond the numbers to understand the creator behind the content.
Engagement
How your audience interacts with your content and connects with your community.
Content & Consistency
The type of content you create, your platform, and how you connect with your audience.
Community Building
How you bring people together and create a space your audience wants to be part of.
Growth & Potential
Your momentum, performance within your genre, and the unique value you bring to the creator space.
No follower minimums. Every application gets a real look.
The GCX Creator Club isn’t about strict numerical requirements. Every platform, content category, and community is different, and numbers don’t always tell the whole story. Our team takes a holistic, case-by-case approach to every application, because we want to discover creators making an impact in their own way, not compare metrics across platforms.
The GCX Creator Pass is equal to a 2 day GCX event pass and does not, on its own, include access to GCX After Dark or the Epic Universe Community Day.

WHERE CREATORS MEET THE INDUSTRY
+
GCX partners with MeetToMatch, the premier B2B meeting platform trusted by gaming events worldwide. Book 1-on-1 meetings with developers, publishers, brands, and agencies, with easy scheduling and numbered meeting tables.
INDUSTRY LOUNGE
Step off the busy show floor into the GCX Industry Lounge, open only to Industry, Creator, and VIP badge holders.
With coffee refills and refreshments on hand, it’s a quiet space to recharge, plan your content, and connect with studios and fellow creators.
YOUR COMMUNITY
GCX is built around time together. Meet your viewers on the show floor, catch up with fellow creators, and create moments your community will talk about long after the weekend.
AFTER DARK
As the doors close on the Saturday of GCX, attendees head inside the gates of Universal Islands of Adventure for GCX After Dark, exclusive to GCX until midnight. Creator Club members can unlock After Dark through affiliate code rewards or add a GCX After Dark ticket while allocations last.
Creator Club FAQ
How will I know if I got approved?
Applications are reviewed and approvals are announced in waves. We don’t send rejection emails, so if you haven’t heard back by the end of the wave in which you applied, don’t be discouraged.
Can I apply again?
Yes. You’re always welcome to apply again in the future as your content and community continue to grow.
Is there a minimum follower count?
No. Every platform, content category, and community is different, so our team takes a holistic, case-by-case approach to every application instead of applying strict numerical requirements.
What does the Creator Pass include?
The GCX Creator Pass is equal to a 2 day GCX event pass. On its own, it does not include GCX After Dark or the Epic Universe Community Day. Members can unlock both, along with covered lodging and domestic airfare, through affiliate code rewards.
How does the affiliate code work?
Approved members receive their own code that gives their community 10% off every GCX 2027 ticket. Multi-day passes bought with it earn 2 points and day passes earn 1. Rewards unlock at 4 points (GCX After Dark), 8 (the Epic Universe park day), 26 (three hotel nights), 50 (a round-trip flight) and 76 (a First Class upgrade).
I work in the games industry. Which badge do I need?
Industry professionals should apply for an Industry Badge. For sponsorship opportunities, contact us here.
