The Queer Games Bundle 2025 is here with over 600 games, and it needs our support more than ever
It’s that time of year again, folks! Pride Month may be over, but celebrating and supporting queer creators is a year-round affair. And what better way to do that than by diving head-first into a treasure trove of incredible games? The fifth annual Queer Games Bundle has officially launched on itch.io, and it is bigger, bolder, and more vital than ever.
For less than the price of a single AAA game, you can get your hands on a staggering 600+ games, TTRPGs, books, comics, and more from a diverse group of over 310 queer artists and developers. Yes, you read that right. 600+ items for just $60! It’s an unbelievable deal for an even better cause.
What’s in the Bundle?
Honestly, what isn’t in the bundle? Whether you’re a fan of heartfelt visual novels, sprawling RPGs, tricky puzzle games, or pixel-perfect platformers, there is something here for you. The collection is a vibrant snapshot of the creativity buzzing within the queer indie scene.
Are you more of a tabletop gaymer? The bundle has you covered with dozens of TTRPGs perfect for any party size, ranging from collaborative storytelling adventures to crunchy, combat-heavy systems.
We’re also seeing the beautiful results of previous years’ bundles, with some long-term projects finally coming to fruition. Keep an eye out for titles like the spooky-cute adventure Jill O’Lantern and the intriguing Time Bandit Part 1, both of which were supported in their development by funds from past bundles.
A Bundle With A Mission
This isn’t just about getting a ton of cheap games; it’s a grassroots funding project with a measurable, life-changing impact. In its first four years alone, the Queer Games Bundle has raised over $570,000 for queer creators.
As the organizers state, this is a concrete way to put money directly into the pockets of those who need it most. “There are game developers who are disabled, have lost a job, or have put all of their hopes into making a game,” the team shared. “For some of these people, this will be their only source of income for months or even the year.”
The proceeds from the bundle are split evenly among all participating creators, embodying a collective spirit that aims for a future with “no more starving indie developers.” By buying the bundle, you are directly funding dreams and giving these talented individuals the chance to continue making their art.
A Call to Arms for the Community
This year, the bundle needs our help more than ever. The launch was delayed due to technical issues on itch.io, and the team is now navigating a noisy news cycle as the platform works to comply with new payment processor requirements.
This means that word of mouth, social media sharing, and community support are absolutely essential to the bundle’s success. The good news? The community is already showing up! Since launching last Wednesday, the bundle has already sold over 700 copies, raising over $27,000 for its creators. Let’s keep that momentum going!
