2023 PAX dates announced

PAX 2023 will be held on October 6-8.

PAX Aus is a celebration of gaming and gaming culture featuring thought-provoking panels, an expo hall filled with publishers and independent studios, game demos, musical performances, tournaments, and an experience unlike any other.

Held across three full days and all under one roof, PAX offers the community the opportunity to meet with old friends, make new ones, interact with game developers, publishers and brands, and get hands-on with everything they love about gaming.

Winners of the STEM VGC will receive 3-Day passes to PAX, so they can see their game on the big screens in the STEM VGC stand! They will also particpate in a panel at PAX where they will present their game to an audience of family, friends and industry folk. It is a truly amazing experience!
