Our Story

From a Melbourne Lounge to a National Platform

VectorPlay started in 2019 as a small blog run by five friends from Melbourne who were frustrated by the lack of Australia-focused gaming coverage. What began as weekend reviews quickly grew into a full editorial operation with contributors across Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

Today, VectorPlay serves over 80,000 monthly readers and organises more than 20 live esports events per year at venues across the country. We remain proudly independent — no publisher deals, no paid placements, just honest coverage for the Australian gaming community.

What We Stand For

Every decision at VectorPlay is guided by these core principles.

🎯

Integrity

We never accept payment for reviews or tournament coverage. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable.

🌏

Community First

We exist to serve the Australian gaming community — from casual players to professional esports athletes.

📊

Depth Over Hype

We take the time to fully complete games before reviewing them. No day-one scores, no embargo-driven rushes.
