21 Ago Africa Games Week 2026: Spotlighting Africa’s Gaming Industry
Africa Games Week (AGW) was born from a simple but important question: how can the world discover the growing talent and potential of Africa’s gaming industry? After attending major international events such as GDC, Gamescom, and Paris Games Week, AGW co-founders Nick Hall and Rex Bowden recognized a clear gap: the global gaming community had limited knowledge of the studios, developers, and creative talent emerging across Africa.
Their answer was to create a central hub in South Africa where the continent’s gaming ecosystem could connect, collaborate, and grow. Today, Africa Games Week brings together studio leaders, developers, industry professionals, aspiring creators, and newcomers, creating opportunities to showcase African games and strengthen international connections.
The 2026 edition will take place from 6 to 8 December at Workshop17 at The Watershed, bringing together the people shaping the future of gaming across the continent. More than an industry event, AGW is a platform for visibility, collaboration, and growth—helping Africa’s gaming scene take its place on the global stage.
