PAX Aus have announced their 2024 line-up and it's absolutely packed with big names. Curiously, even Valve for Steam will be attending.
The line-up of exhibitors was revealed yesterday, September 17th, in an official post on the PAX Aus website. It notes that some big brands and companies will be there including Bethesda Softworks ANZ, Blizzard Entertainment, Devolver, FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, PC Game Pass, Playside Studios, SEGA, Steam, The Sims, and Ubisoft.
Quite exciting to see Steam listed with the event organisers noting "While on the topic of love, PAX Aus welcomes Steam for the first time ever. More on that when the show opens, you’re not going to want to miss it!"
Sounds interesting and they're clearly being a little coy. Pointing perhaps to something exciting coming, and a gaming event would be a good place to announce anything for a company like Valve.
Perhaps then, Australia might finally see a proper Steam Deck release? Even though it's not officially available, that hasn't stopped plenty of stores in Australia letting people buy it via importing it which many people have done so. However, getting it done officially would be awesome for the continued success of Valve's hardware.
Although, it might not be Steam Deck related, who knows, they might even use the time for an official Deadlock launch into a more open Beta without needing invites. Time to keep expectations in check huh?
The event runs from October 11th - 13th October, 2024.

Hehe, pole indeed.
As much fun as it is to take the piss out of one another, it pains me to admit that NZ has some beautiful scenery. I'm sure Gaben is loving it.
