Johannesburg’s festival for game makers is back!

A celebration of the people who make games and the community that supports them.

Workshops • Talks • Curated Arcade

Join us at the second annual Joburg Games Fest (JGF), powered by the Fak’ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival. JGF is a community-driven event for game makers and players, celebrating creativity, collaboration, and the growing game development community in Johannesburg.

This year’s programme features:

• A curated arcade of locally made games
• Interactive talks and workshops with industry professionals
• Opportunities for students and emerging creators to showcase their work
• Networking spaces to connect developers, educators, hobbyists, and industry leaders

JGF is more than a festival — it is part of building a sustainable and diverse South African games industry. By coming together to learn, share, and play, we support new talent, digital innovation, and the creative future of our city.
