Epic Strategy Game Festival Returns to Steam This July

If you’re a fan of games that make you think before you act – whether that’s managing an empire, commanding troops, or building the perfect deck – TactiCon 2025 is one event you won’t want to miss.

Returning to Steam this July, TactiCon is a digital celebration of all things strategy, hosted once again by Hooded Horse and Firesquid. The event highlights a broad range of strategy titles, from turn-based tactics and grand strategy to deckbuilders, city-builders, and everything in between.

This year’s show focuses on new and evolving games, with a lineup built around titles released after June 30, 2024, or those that have seen major updates since then. Expect a curated mix of exciting reveals, upcoming indie gems, and returning favourites – all brought together in one place.

TactiCon will feature playable demos, developer livestreams, and exclusive panels offering a closer look at how your favourite strategy games are made. It’s also a chance to score big discounts across a huge range of titles, whether you’re catching up on classics or trying something completely new.

While the full schedule is still under wraps, everything points to a packed July for strategy lovers. Last year’s event drew in over two million players and featured more than 100 games, so expectations are high – and if past years are anything to go by, the surprises will be worth the wait.

Whether you’re a longtime tactician or just strategy-curious, TactiCon 2025 is shaping up to be one of the must-play digital events of the year. Stay tuned for the official dates and get ready to wishlist, download, and dive deep.
