Since 2021, the Queer Games Bundle has been showcasing hundreds of games on the platform itch.io in support of LGBTQ+ indie, micro indie, art, and experimental developers and creators during Pride Month in June. Across all genres, from classic adventure games and RPGs, to fighting games, visual novels, simulations, and experimental short experiences - about 500 games and projects are participating in the bundle in 2024.
