PAX Aus 2026 Exhibitor List is Stacked
PAX Aus is bringing the heat this October with a huge range of exhibitors in digital and hardware spaces, from indies to Triple A devs, Lexus’ to remote controller excavators – there’s something to check out for every attendee.
SEGA is turning up with four titles playable on the show floor; Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000, Stranger than Heaven, Alien: Isolation 2 and Persona 4 Revival. Given the love for the Yakuza series here at Player2, as well as my own affinity for Persona 4 particularly and a morbid curiosity about Alien: Isolation 2 given how hard I thought Romulus went, it’s a safe bet you’ll see a few of the writes here lined up for some hands-on time.
Activision will be teasing players old enough (That’s MA15+) with a multiplayer slice of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 a few weeks ahead of it’s October 23 launch date. Square Enix will have Final Fantasy XIV for Nintendo Switch 2 playable, as well as a themed photo ops and even a bracelet making activity.
The Ubisoft Community & Esports Stage will host the Rainbow Six Siege APL Oceania Stage Finals, with four of OCE’s best teams battling for a $40,000 prize pool and a coveted place at the Osaka Major. The stage will also play host to an Assassin’s Creed Sea Shanty Singalong, the Ubisoft Cosplay Runway, a Just Dance-Along & a chance to take on Martin Copping, the voice talent behind the Australian Operator Mozzie, in a Rainbow Six Siege 1v1 match.
There is of course almost 100 indie titles between the Superloop-sponsored Aus Indie Showcase, the PAX Rising area and NZ’s CODE offerings. Always a highlight of any PAX Aus, there’s nothing more exciting than seeing the passion, creativity and ingenuity these indie developers show at every booth.
Hardware wise, Mwave have decided to put PAX Aus attendees to work in their sandpit, using a remote controlled excavator to literally dig for prizes. Sure to be a hit, hopefully I can do better than my last trip to the arcades in Akihabara.
Aftershock will be showing off new hardware configurations and collabing with cosplayers, content creators and a Stamp Rally activity that will see the winner score one of two of the Custom Aftershock PC’s that will be on display in their booth.
Thermaltake, ASUS ROG, PowerA, Bluemouth Interactive, Keychron, Clever Gear, Turtle Beach and Electronic Rebellion will also be on site to cater for tech and accessory needs with deals and discounts across the weekend.
Red Bull is bringing the Red Bull Wings Cup to PAX Australia alongside EA SPORTS FC™ 27, giving fans the only in-person opportunity to secure a place in this year’s national competition through the OMODA “Beat the Streak” Wildcard Tournament.
Running across Saturday and Sunday at PAX Australia, the OMODA-presented tournament offers amateur gamers a unique pathway into the broader Red Bull Wings Cup campaign, which takes place on PlayStation Tournaments from 28 September to 25 October.
Amateur gamers will compete in seven-minute sessions of EA SPORTS FC™ 27 Rush Mode, battling to maintain the highest winning streak. Only two wildcard places are available across the entire weekend, with the Saturday and Sunday winners heading directly to the National Final in Sydney on 5 December, with flights and accommodation included, for a potential pathway towards the 2027 World Final in Miami.
The gaming community will be represented across every corner of PAX Aus, with BlackMilk bringing its signature gaming and pop culture-inspired clothing to the show, while Secretlab will also join the 2026 line-up with their latest launches, the Secretlab Atlas and The Pokémon Collection.
If this all sounds a little overwhelming, PAX Aus charity partner Beyond Blue alongside The Inclusion Project will be in the AFK Room to offer a quiet space away from the expo floor, complete with sensory tools and support from allied health occupational therapists.
PAX Aus 2026 takes place at the MCEC across October 9-11, with Friday and Sunday badges still available for purchase.
