Insider Gaming entered the gaming space in October 2022 with a straight-to-the-point, no-nonsense attitude when it came to games journalism. Our philosophy was, and still remains, simple – give our readers knowledge about video games without all the bias and politics.

Our no-nonsense attitude has cemented us as one of the cornerstones in the video games media industry, now averaging around 3 million readers per month. But more than just our own success, Insider Gaming is referenced by almost every other media outlet, content creator, and personality in the industry that there is. If someone is talking about games, they’ve likely mentioned Insider Gaming.

What makes Insider Gaming special is that it’s created by gamers, for gamers. Our goal is simple: to provide insight into the often secretive gaming industry and report on video game news without any bias or politics. It’s all about the games and the community, nothing else.

Insider Gaming is an independent publication.
