The 2026 DiGRA conference theme is Intersectional Pleasures. The theme invites a critical and celebratory exploration of how games (digital, analog, and hybrid) enable, mediate, or restrict pleasure across lines of identity, genre, platforms, politics, and more. We welcome interdisciplinary submissions across multiple fields.

The conference is supported by the Maynooth University Arts & Humanities Institute (AHI) and the departments of Computer Science (CS) and Media Studies (MS)
