After making its grand, post-lockdown return last year, PAX Australia is gearing up once again for 2023, and the dates have been locked in.

This year’s show will happen from Friday October 6th to Sunday October 8th, at the usual venue of the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre – marking the show’s 10th anniversary in Melbourne.

Shall we play a game OR THOUSAND?!

Last year’s event was a packed weekend full of gamers excited to be back at a big convention, so it’ll be interesting to see how PAX really brings the goods this year. We had Shuhei Yoshida himself as a keynote speaker for 2022, and the Press Start team got up to our usual shenanigans with the Press Start What The Wiki? Extravaganza.

Ticket prices and release dates as well as exhibitor and schedule info are all still up in the air, but we’ll be sure to report back when these are confirmed.
