The story behind Australia's most passionate gaming editorial team.
RapidControl was founded in 2019 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 the unique challenges and opportunities faced by Australian players โ from server latency to local tournament scenes.
We set out to build a platform that speaks directly to the Australian gaming community. Our reviews are written by editors who play on Australian servers, attend local events, and understand the nuances of gaming Down Under. We cover everything from AAA blockbusters to indie gems, always with an honest, no-nonsense approach.
Today, RapidControl reaches over 30,000 monthly readers across Australia and New Zealand, and our tournament coverage has become the go-to resource for competitive gamers in the region. We are proud to be based in Sydney, with contributors in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.
The principles that guide everything we do at RapidControl.
We never accept payment for positive coverage. Every review reflects our genuine experience with the game, for better or worse.
We test games on Australian servers, attend local events, and write for the Australian gaming community first and foremost.
We are passionate about competitive gaming and committed to elevating the profile of Australian esports on the world stage.
