This year Screen NSW was thrilled to ramp up our support for NSW games and game makers! 

As we head into 2025, check out some of the best games available to play that were made here in NSW. 

VALORANT 

Riot Games presents VALORANT: a 5v5 character-based tactical FPS where precise gunplay meets unique agent abilities. The first FPS title for Riot Games, and second major esport, VALORANT is set on Alpha Earth where the agents of the VALORANT protocol reflect the world among us. 

VALORANT is co-developed in NSW by Riot Games.

Auto Pirates: Captains Cup

Auto Pirates is a competitive player vs world strategy game where you choose your crew, equip your ship and battle, earning loot based on your global rank. There is no pay-to-win or grind-to-win, new players can challenge for the top if their strategies are good enough. Earn plunder and collect trophies for your exploits on the seas and create the perfect pirate hideout for your crew. Combine pirates from four fantasy factions with magical relics and a multitude of ships to optimize your strategy or create crazy hijinks. You can shoot, board, blast, burn, sink or push your opponents to get the upper hand and go for the top 1% prize. 

Auto Pirates is developed by NSW based studio, Featherweight Games.
