Fed Square’s FIFA 20 Community Tournament marks the second foray into Big Screen Gaming in the past 12 months. In 2019, Fed Square hosted free daily sessions of Nintendo’s Mario Kart 8 on its Digital Façade, timed to coincide with Melbourne’s school holidays, for which it was nominated in the B&T Awards 2019 for Best Out of Home Campaign.
ACMI, Australia’s number one museum of video games, will re-open in mid-2020 following a $40 million renewal and a newly-installed exhibition of screen culture, including an interactive video games showcase.
