PixElated Festival is coming back!

We are happy to announce the return of PixElated Festival! We had an amazing time last year organising the event and were delighted to hear how much traffic boost it created for the participants!

Please Note: The eligibility criteria has changed following Valve’s feedback on the previous year’s festival. We’re very sorry if your game doesn’t qualify - please do keep your eyes on our news announcements in case anything changes.
