TurboVault team

Our Story

TurboVault was founded in 2019 by a group of five Sydney-based gamers who were frustrated by the lack of honest, Australian-focused gaming coverage. Too many reviews were influenced by publisher relationships or written by people who didn't actually play the games.

We set out to change that. Starting as a small blog, TurboVault has grown into one of Australia's most trusted gaming destinations — reaching over 85,000 readers monthly and covering everything from indie gems to AAA blockbusters and the biggest esports events in the region.

Our editorial independence is non-negotiable. Every review is written by someone who has genuinely played the game, and our tournament coverage is always on the ground, not behind a screen.

  • 100% editorially independent — no publisher influence
  • All reviewers are active gamers with genre expertise
  • On-the-ground coverage at major Australian esports events
  • Community-first approach — we listen to our readers
  • Based in Sydney, serving the entire Australian gaming community
