Games Melbourne

Melbourne: The Heart of the Australian Game Industry

Melbourne, Victoria is the home to Australia's leading creative talent and companies in the games industry.
From PC to Nintendo Wii™, our developers are experienced with all platforms and have worked for many major multinational publishers, including Electronic Arts, THQ and Ubisoft. Melbourne is also home to some of the most highly awarded mobile phone developers in the world who work with EA Mobile, Nokia and iPhone.

Providing an appealing combination of high skills and competitive costs, international game publishers choose to work with Melbourne-based developers on high-end international brands such as Star Wars, Need for Speed, Spyro, Looney Tunes and more.

Melbourne-based game developers enjoy a reputation for innovation and excellence - from our earliest games company Beam Software, who developed The Hobbit in 1982, to the highly successful original IP development in the Puzzle Quest franchise by Infinite Interactive. Many of our game service providers are also internationally recognised for the excellence of their middleware applications, such as FMOD. Over 50% of Australia's independent games studios are located in Melbourne where they have access to government investment and development programs enabling them to push their animators, games designers and programmers to the forefront of their creative fields; making these companies industry leaders.
