Our Story

We Live and Breathe Gaming

ClutchFinal was founded in 2021 in Melbourne, Victoria, by a group of passionate gamers, journalists, and esports enthusiasts who felt that the Australian gaming community deserved a dedicated, high-quality platform of its own.

What started as a small blog covering local LAN events has grown into Australia's most comprehensive gaming media destination — covering everything from AAA blockbusters to indie gems, and from grassroots tournaments to national championships.

We believe in honest, independent reviews that put the player's experience first. No pay-to-review, no sponsored scores — just genuine opinions from people who love games.
