Games for Change President Susanna Pollack shared her thoughts on the 2025 Games for Change Awards:

“As our community has expanded worldwide, so has the impact and breadth of the games we celebrate. This year’s finalists demonstrate the power of games and immersive experiences to address both local and global challenges. With creators from four continents tackling everything from environmental sustainability to mental health, these projects demonstrate how powerful this medium can be to explore complex issues. What impresses me the most is how the finalists blend immense creativity with purpose. These are both great games and a gateway to understanding and acting on some of today’s most pressing challenges.”

Pat Swinney Kaufman, the commissioner of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, congratulated the winners and spoke about the upcoming event:

“Congratulations to the G4C Festival Awards Finalists! Our office is a proud, long-term partner of Games for Change as we share a common goal to support digital game development and make NYC a global hub for the industry. Games for Change is a tentpole event in our ‘NYC Summer of Games’ initiative, which brings awareness to all the digital gaming-based events taking place throughout the city in the summer months, kicking off on May 31 with the first-ever NYC Video Game Festival.”

The 2025 Games for Change Awards will be held on June 26, 2025, at 6:30 pm ET. It’ll be streamed live for audiences on Twitch.
