The CyberForges team at work in their Melbourne studio

Australia's Most Trusted Gaming Voice

CyberForges was founded in Melbourne in 2014 by a group of friends who were frustrated by the lack of genuine, unbiased gaming coverage tailored for Australian audiences. What started as a small blog has grown into one of Australia's most-read gaming publications, with over 85,000 monthly readers across the country.

We believe that game reviews should be honest, thorough, and written by people who actually care about games. Every title we review is played to completion by our dedicated reviewers — no rushed impressions, no sponsored content, no compromises.

Our esports coverage spans every major Australian tournament, from the AEL Summer Championship in Melbourne to regional events in Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide. We are proud to be part of the vibrant Australian gaming community.
