A Fortnite gamer who inadvertently live-streamed himself allegedly hitting his partner needs to return home to support her through her pregnancy, a court has heard.

Steven Mercael, acting for accused man Luke Munday, told Camden Local Court his client's partner, with whom he has a daughter, relied on him financially and was living in a house without any furniture.

"She's expected to have a c-section, she doesn't have the support of anyone else," Mr Mercael told magistrate Ian Cheetham on Thursday.

"She's living without any fridge, any furniture. It's all in a garage."
