We're a team of passionate Australian gamers dedicated to delivering honest reviews, comprehensive tournament coverage, and a thriving community for gamers across the country.
BattleByte was founded in 2019 by a group of Sydney-based gamers who were frustrated by the lack of locally relevant gaming coverage. Too many reviews were written from a Northern Hemisphere perspective, ignoring the unique needs of the Australian gaming community โ from server latency to release date differences.
We set out to change that. Today, BattleByte is Australia's most trusted independent gaming media outlet, with contributors in every state and territory, covering everything from indie gems to AAA blockbusters.
Everything we do at BattleByte is guided by these core principles.
We never accept payment for positive coverage. Every score is earned through genuine playtime and critical analysis, with full disclosure of any review copies received.
We review games the way Australians play them โ accounting for local server performance, regional pricing context, and the Australian gaming culture.
Our readers are at the heart of everything we do. We actively engage with our community, incorporate feedback, and create content that genuinely serves Australian gamers.
We're committed to growing the Australian esports ecosystem by providing comprehensive tournament coverage and supporting local competitive gaming talent.
We go beyond surface-level impressions to deliver thorough, well-researched reviews that help you make informed decisions about your gaming time.
Gaming is for everyone. We celebrate diversity in games and in our community, and we actively work to make our platform welcoming to all Australian gamers.
Our diverse team of writers, editors, and esports analysts are spread across Australia.
