The Queensland Games Festival 2025

The Queensland Games Festival is our own unique celebration of Queensland’s vibrant game making community. Hosted at the iconic Brisbane Powerhouse, the festival is an opportunity to come and discover our rich variety of locally made games, all presented by the studios that created them. Enjoy playing games, chatting to the developers, and getting creative in our free public workshops. From digital games to board games, there is something for everyone to play from our local game makers.

Want something even more interactive? We’re launching a new Amplify Game Space for more experimental and works-in-progress games! Or if you’re interested in working in the games industry, join us in the Emerging Developers Room to chat with a game dev about life in the industry!

Coming to the Brisbane Powerhouse June 13 – 14

Call for locally-made games is open

We are seeking locally-made games for the exhibition on the Saturday! Places are limited so we really recommend including good game descriptions as well as links to gameplay videos and promos!

This year we are also aiming to host a very special event for early emerging and more experimental work – experimental, funky concepts and work-in-progress. This will be held during the main festival in the Powerhouse Underground Studio and hosted by Zed Games.

THIS EOI CLOSES on May 11th – good luck everyone!
