Hardcore Gamer was founded in 2005 as a magazine publication, which quickly gained international recognition with hundreds of thousands of distributed issues. By 2012, adapting to the growing influence of the internet, Hardcore Gamer transitioned into an online publication and was acquired and owned by Valnet Inc. since 2023.
We now stand as one of the most visited gaming journalism platforms, offering one of the largest active video game review libraries, acclaimed video productions, and long-form articles.
