The Quebec Video Game Guild announced a province-wide, day‑long campaign for November 14, 2026, aimed at promoting and supporting local video‑game developers. The initiative, presented by guild representative Émilien Roscanu, seeks to draw public attention to an industry that employs more than 15,000 people and ranks among the five major video‑game hubs worldwide.
The November 14 Support Day will feature a series of coordinated activities across the province, including showcase events, developer talks, and promotional offers from participating studios. Organisers intend the day to serve both as a celebration of the sector’s status as Quebec’s largest cultural export and as a response to recent job losses that have affected the field.
The campaign follows a similar effort earlier this year that encouraged Quebec residents to purchase locally authored books on August 12. That previous drive was described as successful in boosting awareness of the province’s cultural products, prompting the guild to replicate the model for the video‑game sector. By concentrating media coverage and consumer attention on a single day, the guild hopes to reinforce the economic contribution of game development and stimulate new hiring.
Industry analysts have noted that the video‑game market remains a key driver of Quebec’s creative economy despite fluctuations in employment. The Support Day is positioned as a means to showcase the breadth of talent within the province, from indie studios to larger developers, and to underline the sector’s resilience. Organisers will provide resources for schools, community groups, and businesses to participate, encouraging a broad base of involvement throughout Quebec.
