Following the success of its first event, the digital showcase highlighting games from Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand is returning with a new “winter warmer-up” called Frosty Mini. This shorter version of the popular Frosty Games Fest offers thirty minutes of “pure indie magic” and will feature 26 games from the region.

Frosty Games Fest was created to shine a spotlight on the most upcoming and recently released titles from ANZ developers. It was designed to support the local industry during challenging times and takes a clear stance against NFTs and generative AI. The first full showcase in June 2025 drove significant interest on Steam, boosting wishlists for many participating games. F

The showcase will premiere on December 9 at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. For viewers in Australia and New Zealand, this will be the morning of December 10, at 8:00 AM AEDT in Sydney and Melbourne, and 10:00 AM NZDT in New Zealand.

While the full roster of 26 titles remains under wraps to maintain showcase suspense, several developers have already hyped their segments. Fine Feathered Fiends will debut a trailer for Drăculești. StormCat is set to drop a demo for WIZARD PUNKS!!! right in the Steam event, and Winter Schloss Studios will release a vampire-fueled demo for its title Night Shift: 1999.
