The first Black Voices in Gaming event took place in June 2020, and GameSpot was one of the partners for the showcase. The event put a special focus on highlighting Black voices in the gaming industry, covering games made by Black developers and titles with Black protagonists. The event also featured discussions with the game developers themselves.
Media Indie Exchange co-founder Justin Woodward and Aerial Knights: Never Yield creator Neil Jones launched the showcase to help support Black game developers.
