Valorant Laneways Takes Over Melbourne For PAX Aus 2026

Riot Games has brought Valorant Laneways to Melbourne this weekend for MIGW and PAX AUS 2026 with a free two-day event celebrating the launch of Valorant on consoles in Australia and New Zealand.

The event takes place on Saturday and Sunday (October 10-11) outside Crown Melbourne, a short walk across the street and down from the PAX AUS 2026 convention centre.

If you’re reading this post, there’s still time today to experience it all!

The event has transformed the Promenade into a Valorant-inspired Melbourne laneway, featuring playable PS5 stations set up for 2v2 Skirmish matches, with players able to jump into the action themselves.

There are also some interactive activities and prizes, with codes on the line for Valorant.

The Valorant Champions Tour Grand Finals watch parties are also coming up at Fortress Melbourne and Fortress Sydney on October 18.
