Here's how you can watch.

The Wholesome Direct 2025 digital livestream has been confirmed for 8 June here in Australia, its organisers have revealed.

It’ll be early for Aussies, taking place at 2.00 am AEST on 8 June (or 9.00 am Pacific time on 7 June for those in the USA). You can check your own timezone here.

The show will air on both YouTube and Twitch.

“After receiving nearly 1,500 submissions this year, the Wholesome Direct team has carefully curated a selection of about 60 emotionally resonant titles with news including world premieres, demo announcements, and many more surprises from independent developers of all sizes and beloved indie publishers,” organisers declared in a press release.

“This year’s Wholesome Direct will include news and surprises from amazing studios including Playstack, btf Games, ustwo games, Wētā Workshop, Electric Saint, and many more. Audiences will also hear updates on Wholesome Games Presents titles Is This Seat Taken? and MakeRoom, and a yet-to-be-revealed partnership.”

Those excited for the Wholesome Direct can also take advantage of merch, of which sale proceeds will go to charity partner Point of Pride, “an independent non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and saving trans lives through access to gender affirming care.”
