BitSummit是日本最大的獨立遊戲盛會，旨在集結日本的獨立遊戲，向世界展現當地開發者的創作能力，同時也邀請海外團隊到日本展覽，促進開發者與玩家間的國際交流。本會自2014年起派員參訪，並將研習心得和相關資訊與國內獨立遊戲開發者分享。
　　BitSummit is the largest independent game show in Japan. It aims to bring together independent games in Japan and show the world the local developers' creativity. It also invites overseas teams to show their games in Japan, promoting international exchange between developers and gamers. ARF have been sending representatives to the BitSummit since 2014, and they have been sharing what they have learned with independent game developers in Taiwan.
　　第五屆BitSummit於2017年5月20日～21日在京都市勸業館舉辦。今年的 BitSummit擴大場地規模，總參觀人數接近萬人，創下活動的新高紀錄，現場氣氛極為熱絡。展出作品的精細度皆有相當的成熟度，來自海外的作品比起往年有著更高的注目度，許多作品都展現了驚人的創意與發想。透過介紹活動內展出的特色遊戲與活動概況，希望能為台灣的開發者帶來一些啟發，催生出更多能夠立足國際舞台的作品。
　　The fifth BitSummit was held at the Miyakomesse in Kyoto from May 20 to 21, 2017. With an expanded venue, this year's BitSummit attracted close to 10,000 visitors, breaking its own record. Games displayed at the event showed a high level of maturity. Games from overseas attracted more attention this year than in past years with many demonstrating astounding creativity and concept development. It is hoped that the overview of the event and introduction to unique games showcased will inspire developers in Taiwan and bring forth more world-class games.
