Australia Showcases Game Development Excellence on the Global Stage with Launch of ‘Game On Australia’
As Australian game developers prepare to present their work at Japan’s BitSummit and the World Expo in Osaka, the Interactive Games & Entertainment Association (IGEA) has unveiled Game On Australia, a new digital showcase highlighting Australia’s world-class game development industry.
Proudly supported by the Australian Government through the International Cultural Diplomacy Arts Fund, the Game On Australia initiative shines a spotlight on the creative talent, infrastructure, and government support that position Australia as one of the world’s most attractive destinations for game development.
From globally recognised indie gems to high-end studio productions, Australian games continue to make a major impact on the international stage. Now, with the introduction of the 30% Federal Digital Games Tax Offset (DGTO) and a suite of state-based incentives, the global industry is taking notice.
Why Australia?
🎮 A Thriving Development Ecosystem – Home to renowned studios and rising talent, Australia’s collaborative industry produces exceptional titles across PC, console, mobile, and VR.
💰 Generous Government Incentives – The 30% DGTO, combined with state and territory incentives, makes Australia one of the most financially competitive locations for game development.

🌿 Unmatched Lifestyle – With modern infrastructure, vibrant cities, and a strong creative culture, Australia supports long-term, sustainable game development.

“Game development in Australia is more than just a creative endeavour, it’s smart business,” said Ron Curry, CEO of IGEA. “With world-class talent, generous tax incentives, and a proven track record of global success, Australia is ready to welcome the world’s studios, publishers, and partners into our thriving game development ecosystem.”
