About Us – DarkByteZone

Our Story

Who We Are

DarkByteZone was founded in 2019 by a group of passionate gamers based in Sydney, New South Wales. Frustrated by the lack of Australian-focused gaming coverage, we set out to create a platform that speaks directly to the local gaming community.

Today, we are a team of 12 dedicated reviewers, esports analysts, and tournament organisers spread across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth — all united by a love of gaming and a commitment to honest, unbiased coverage.

We cover everything from AAA blockbusters to indie gems, and we organise and promote esports tournaments at real Australian venues, giving local talent the spotlight they deserve.
