Built by Australian gamers, for Australian gamers — honest reviews and world-class esports coverage since 2019.
From a small Discord server to Australia's most-read gaming platform.
Steel Horizons was founded in 2019 by a group of friends in Sydney who were frustrated by the lack of genuinely Australian-focused gaming coverage. Most major review sites were based overseas, with little understanding of local server conditions, community preferences, or the vibrant ANZ esports scene.
What started as a small blog quickly grew into a full editorial team, covering everything from AAA blockbusters to the best indie titles coming out of Australian studios. Today, Steel Horizons reaches over 85,000 readers every month and has become the go-to destination for Australian gamers seeking trustworthy, in-depth coverage.
