Built by Gamers, for Gamers
StreamRespawn was founded in 2021 by a group of passionate Australian gamers who were frustrated by the lack of locally-focused, unbiased gaming coverage. We set out to build a platform that truly serves the Australian gaming community.
Based in Sydney, our team of 12 expert reviewers and esports journalists covers everything from the latest AAA blockbusters to hidden indie gems — always with honesty, depth, and a distinctly Australian perspective.
We believe every gamer deserves access to trustworthy reviews and comprehensive tournament coverage, without the noise and corporate bias that plagues much of the industry.
