The Melbourne Queer Games Festival is an annual LGBT game festival held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

[1] It was founded in 2018 and is held in October as a part of the Melbourne International Games Week.

It showcases video and tabletop games from around the world that feature LGBT gameplay elements[2][3] The festival is volunteer led and in addition to appealing to the queer gaming community and raise the profile of queer games,[4] they're working toward reclaiming the phrase "gay games".

[7][8] In 2018 it ran a "Bring It Back" event highlighting an older game, Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars.

The Festival recognizes several categories of awards: technical, jury, bronze, silver and gold.
