Our Story

About PixelCharge

We are a team of passionate Australian gamers dedicated to delivering honest, in-depth game reviews and comprehensive esports coverage to the gaming community.

Who We Are

Born from a Passion for Gaming

PixelCharge was founded in Melbourne in 2021 by a group of friends who were frustrated by the lack of genuinely Australian-focused gaming media. Too many reviews were written for international audiences, ignoring the unique aspects of gaming in Australia — from local server availability to regional esports scenes.

We set out to change that. Starting as a small blog, PixelCharge has grown into one of Australia's most trusted gaming platforms, with a dedicated team of reviewers, esports journalists, and community managers spread across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth.

Our editorial policy is simple: we play every game we review for a minimum of 20 hours before publishing, we never accept payment for reviews, and we always disclose when a review copy was provided by a publisher.
