If you can quote The Last of Us line by line, if you’ve seen every episode of Critical Role and The Adventure Zone or if you’re addicted to Twitch and can’t choose between Fortnite and Overwatch, then this is the festival for you.

Melbourne International Games Week is the biggest games event in the Asia Pacific region, and its celebrating ten years of connecting games, techology and culture this year. It's setting up shop in Melbourne from October 3 to 13, with events across the city and a huge line up of things to do. Highlights of the 2024 festival program include a Mario King of Kart tournament, the Big Games Night Out, a tenth birthday bash and lots more. 

Worldwide gaming festival PAX Australia (Oct 11-13) will be present for three days of retro, VR, tabletop, console, and PC gaming, as well as live music, cosplay and panels to keep you occupied. Guests will also be able to discover the emerging stars of Australia's independent gaming industry.
