PAX AUS pop-up event to be held this weekend at Melbourne’s Federation Square

Melbourne gets an early taste of PAX Australia this coming weekend as a pop-up event has been planned for the city’s Federation Square.

The event, taking place over 1-2 September, will offer up a chance to compete in high-score tournaments alongside hands-on opportunities of recently released games. Prizes are on offer, including (sold out) PAX AUS 3-Day badges.

“Before the PAX mothership descends upon Melbourne this October, we’re very excited to offer a snack-sized PAX at Fed Square,” said Luke Lancaster, PAX Aus Content Manager at ReedPOP. “Come hang out, play games, win prizes, enjoy the concerts and surround yourself with the amazing PAX community.”

If you can’t make it down to this weekend’s event, aim for PAX AUS proper. It will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre over 27-29 October.

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.
