The 2025 Spy Video Game Rendezvous is aiming to be the largest collection of spy-themed video games ever assembled in one place. It is scheduled to take place on Steam for one week 5/23/25 - 5/30/25, starting with Memorial Day weekend 2025 (5/23/25 - 5/26/25).
Criteria for YOUR game(s) to be included:
- Does the player feel like a spy or secret agent by playing this game?
- Does the game involve espionage and/or subterfuge?
- Does the main character work for a clandestine agency?
If any of the above apply, then the game may be a good fit for the theme. Games that involve sneaking but not espionage may not be a good fit. It is completely fine for games to be serious, humorous, or a mix of the two.
The selection of games be will finalized in January/February 2025, a few months in advance of the festival in May 2025, but signaling your interest sooner rather than later helps with planning the festival.
If selected for the festival, there is also an optional component where you can choose to share a trailer of your game for inclusion in the
Spy Video Game Rendezvous Direct, showcasing the current "State of the Union of spy video games." The SVGR Direct will take place on the
Sunny Demeanor Games YouTube channel on May 23rd at 1pm US Eastern time, coinciding with the start of the festival. Trailers are due by the end of April.
