Games Transformed 2025

What can the left learn from Gamergate? How do we build anti-fascist communities that bite back? Can we turn anger away from minorities and towards the bosses and shareholders wrecking the industry for profit?

Join workers, player, academics and organisers to find out together at Games Transformed 2025 - this year’s theme is Smash The Fash!

Games Transformed is a volunteer-led organisation celebrating games and radical politics. We use games to explore anti-capitalist ideas, build friendship and community, and introduce workers and fans to political organising so they can take the fight to the games industry and beyond!

Games Transformed 2025 will be taking place on Saturday 12th July, with a special academic conference happening the day before on Friday 11th July. Both events will take place at Pelican House, 144 Cambridge Heath Road E1 5QJ.

Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky to hear announcements about our sessions and speakers!
