Black Voices in Gaming will be at Summer Game Fest 2025, with its showcase taking place on June 9 at 12PM Eastern time. You’ll be able to stream it live online on The Game Awards YouTube channel. The non-profit organization focuses on putting a spotlight on titles created by Black game developers and on curating culturally relevant games centered on the lived experiences of Black, Indigenous and other People of Color (BIPOC). On X, the team said you can expect “world premieres, dope interviews, and bold voices pushing the culture forward” during the event. It didn’t list out the games it’s going to feature, but you can peek at the kind of titles the organization champions on its website.
