About NeonRaid

We are a team of passionate Australian gamers, journalists, and esports enthusiasts dedicated to delivering the most honest gaming coverage in the country.

Our Story

NeonRaid was founded in 2021 by a group of Sydney-based gamers who were frustrated by the lack of Australian-focused gaming coverage. Too many reviews were written from a Northern Hemisphere perspective, ignoring server availability, local pricing, and the unique culture of the Australian gaming community.

We set out to change that. Starting as a small blog with three contributors, NeonRaid has grown into Australia's most trusted independent gaming media outlet, with over 85,000 monthly readers and a dedicated team of 12 full-time staff and 20+ freelance contributors across every state and territory.

Our editorial independence is our greatest asset. We accept no payments for favourable reviews and maintain strict conflict-of-interest policies that ensure every score you read on NeonRaid is earned, not bought.
