The Tidal Splash Festival 2026, a celebration dedicated to games inspired by water and traditional summer festivals, is already live on Steam and runs through July 12, 2026. Organized by SEAGamethetic, the event brings together games from Thailand and many other parts of the world, highlighting experiences ranging from single player adventures to multiplayer titles as part of a special Steam Festival.

Inspired by cultural celebrations such as the Songkran Festival and the Bon Om Touk Festival, the event aims to showcase games that embrace water themed concepts while connecting regional traditions with a global audience through video games. The initiative also helps increase the visibility of independent studios and developers from different countries, reinforcing the industry's cultural diversity.

The festival gives players the opportunity to explore a selection of water themed games, bringing together a wide variety of genres and gameplay experiences in a single digital event. Throughout the festival, players can discover new projects and explore games from different regions of the world, with a special spotlight on the Southeast Asian game development scene and titles that place water at the heart of their identity.
