Amazon Australia now sells digital video games

PC and Switch get the most love (for now?).

Amazon Australia will now sell digital video games through its online storefront.

From today, digital PC and Switch games will be available to customers alongside PlayStation and Roblox currencies, Xbox Game Pass and more.

“Our new Digital Video Games offering represents an exciting addition to the gaming range available on Amazon Australia,” said Matthew Benham, Head of Consumer Electronics and Media.

“We know that our customers come to [Amazon] looking for great prices, a large selection and convenience,” Benham continued. “We can now provide Australian gamers with the opportunity to purchase an extensive range of digital PC and console games, free-to-play games, digital game currencies and other digital gaming content, with the added convenience of finding this and everything else they might need on [Amazon], from gaming accessories through to the ultimate home entertainment set up.”

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
