The biggest African gaming business event returns, connecting creators, studios, and investors shaping the future of interactive entertainment across the continent.
Africa’s gaming industry is evolving at lightning speed, and no event captures that transformation quite like Africa Games Week (AGW). Returning in 2025, the event stands as the continent’s largest gathering for game developers, publishers, investors, and creative professionals.
Hosted in Cape Town, South Africa, Africa Games Week has built a reputation as a powerful networking and learning platform for the African gaming ecosystem. The 2025 edition promises to be even bigger, bringing together the most talented minds in game design, esports, animation, and digital storytelling, all united by a shared passion for African-made games.
Since its launch, Africa Games Week has served as a bridge between African creators and the global gaming community. It features panel discussions, workshops, and exhibitions that highlight the continent’s growing role in the international gaming market.
Attendees can expect engaging sessions on publishing, funding, emerging technologies, and the business of games, all with a spotlight on Africa’s unique creativity.
This year’s edition will also celebrate innovation through the Games for Change Africa segment, focusing on how gaming can inspire education, social impact, and cultural representation. Alongside this, Make Games Africa and African Games Biz will return with networking opportunities, career sessions, and studio showcases.
As more African developers gain international attention, Africa Games Week 2025 aims to amplify their stories and open doors for global collaboration. From indie developers in Lagos and Nairobi to established studios in Cape Town, the event is proof that Africa’s gaming future is bold, diverse, and unstoppable.
Africa Games Week 2025 isn’t just a conference, it’s the pulse of a growing creative movement.
