The countdown to Australia’s biggest gaming festival has officially begun, with PAX Aus 2025 Early Bird badges now on sale as of midday today.
Following last year’s record-breaking event—which saw major AAA publishers, an expanded Indie Showcase, and a thriving Tabletop section—this year’s convention is shaping up to be another must-attend weekend for gamers.
Badges Selling Fast – Don’t Miss Out!
Early Bird badges are now available, offering discounted access to the three-day extravaganza at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 10-12. Gamers can snag a 3-Day badge 75 each. But be quick—these deals won’t last long!
For the first time ever, PAX Aus is also offering an exclusive pre-order t-shirt, available now on their website. The best part? It’ll arrive with your badge, so you can rock your new merch straight onto the show floor—like “a newly unlocked Mario Kart character,” as the organisers put it.
Bigger, Better, and Packed with Gaming Goodness
PAX Aus 2025 promises to deliver another epic lineup, featuring:
- AAA publishers showcasing the latest blockbuster titles
- An even larger Tabletop area (growing “faster than a rush-hour platform”)
- The Indie Showcase, spotlighting Australia’s best independent developers
- The legendary Omegathon (though the games remain a mystery for now)
- Cosplay, panels, and the infamous Pin Chicken
PAX Aus Event Director Lauren Luciani said the team is working hard to make this year’s event unforgettable.
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone back after an incredible 2024,” Luciani said. “It’s the passion of our fans that makes PAX Aus so special, and we can’t wait to see everyone at MCEC in October for the ultimate gaming weekend.”
Melbourne International Games Week’s Grand Finale
