When

Thu 18 Sep 2025 – Sun 8 Feb 2026

Be the first to score tickets to Game Worlds, Melbourne’s new playable exhibition, opening this September, built for players, fans, friends and families alike.

Step into custom-designed game worlds inspired by iconic videogames — from classics like The Sims and World of Warcraft to cult favourites like Neopets and the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. Enjoy hands-on play with 20 titles, alongside rare design materials, artwork, and behind-the-scenes stories that reveal the creative process.

Experience games like never before, race against a world-record speedrun and discover concept art. Along the way, explore playable moments from the 1970s to today.

Created by ACMI, the home of videogames in Australia, Game Worlds is the latest in a legacy of celebrated exhibitions that have travelled the globe.

Premium tickets are available now, ahead of the general release on 31 July, with more titles dropping soon.
