Our Journey

The founding team of Gaming World Australia.

From a Passion Project to a Community Hub

Gaming World Australia started in a small Melbourne apartment in 2018, born from a shared passion for video games and a desire to create a space that focused specifically on the Australian gaming experience. We felt that local stories, developers, and communities were often overlooked by international media. Our initial goal was simple: to write articles we'd want to read, ones that celebrated the unique quirks and triumphs of gaming down under. We wanted to build more than just a news site; we aimed to foster a genuine community.

Over the years, what began as a humble blog has grown into a trusted source for thousands of Australian gamers. We've covered major events like PAX Australia, interviewed legendary local developers, and spotlighted countless incredible indie games. Our growth has been entirely organic, fueled by the support of our readers. We remain committed to our founding principles of providing authentic, positive, and insightful content for the Australian gaming community.
