The Press Start 2025 festival, which accompanies the relocation of the Bpi to the Lumière building (Paris 12th), takes place from September 3 to December 7 with two events per month and a special weekend on December 6 and 7. For more than 10 years, the Press Start Festival has been the meeting place for video game lovers. An ideal time to experience with teenagers from 15 years old
- The 2025 edition “(De)construction” explores construction and management video games, but also invites us to reflect on the game industry and its future –
On the program:
- Construction and world-building games, which make it possible to create cities, structures or entire worlds, alone or collectively
- Cozy games for a smoother experience, where planning and creativity are at the heart of the game.
- And survival games with a building dimension for more intense challenges, and stress management
- Creative workshops (registration required) to put your ideas into practice and immerse yourself in the creative process.
- And finally, this year’s festival also proposes to reflect on the video game industry, inclusion, diversity and the recent crises of the sector, while imagining a softer future for all and always more innovative!
