CYDUS Internet & Gaming Lounge – Melbourne’s 24/7 High-Spec Gaming & Social Hub

CYDUS Internet & Gaming Lounge has established itself as one of Australia’s leading gaming venues, operating 7 days a week with a relaxed lounge atmosphere where gamers can drop in solo, join team sessions, or settle in for longer gaming runs. Located at 262 Victoria St in North Melbourne’s CBD—just steps from Queen Street Mall—this dedicated gaming lounge packs 67 high-performance PCs equipped with 24″ 240Hz monitors, mechanical keyboards, and premium peripherals for seamless frags. Their website emphasizes high-performance gaming rigs with NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti cards and a broad library of games—from nostalgic single-player titles to cutting-edge multiplayer releases like Valorant and CS2.

CYDUS sets a transparent and value-oriented pricing structure: non-members are charged AUD $7 per hour, while members pay AUD $5 per hour, with membership signup including 3 free hours for AUD $25 and renewals adding extra play-time. The lounge supports competitive events, group bookings, and casual hangouts alike, making it suitable for gamers wanting top-spec gear, flexible pricing, and a welcoming environment in Melbourne’s CBD area—complete with BYO snacks and a snack wall for quick fuel.

Established in 2000 as one of Australia’s pioneering internet cafés, CYDUS has evolved under dedicated ownership into a CBD staple, earning raves for its “friendly atmosphere and high-quality gaming equipment” from a loyal crowd of students and locals. Reviewers highlight the clean layout, attentive service from owner Arnie and team, and that elusive “third space” magic where late-night queues turn into lasting bonds—proving it’s more than a lounge, but a timeless hub for Melbourne’s gaming pulse.
