About Us — FragEmpire

Our Mission

Built by Gamers, for Gamers

FragEmpire was founded in 2019 by a group of Sydney-based gaming enthusiasts who were frustrated by the lack of quality, locally-focused gaming coverage in Australia. We set out to create a platform that truly understands the Australian gaming community.

Today, we cover everything from indie gems to blockbuster AAA titles, and from local LAN events to international esports championships. Our team of 12 dedicated reviewers and journalists brings you the most thorough, unbiased coverage in the country.

We believe every gamer deserves access to quality information to make informed decisions about the games they play and the events they follow.
