About Akshay Patel
After starting his career as a Social Media Manager, Akshay found his calling in video games journalism in 2020. Since then, he has written for EssentiallySports, IGN India, TheGamer, and currently is a News writer at TheBestWarGames. His love for video games began way back in college when he used to skip classes to play Counter Strike 1.6 with his friends all day at a local gaming cafe. Now, years later, he has managed to turn his passion for video games into a career, but has a hard time explaining it to his mother who still wonders how he makes a living playing video games all day.
Industry Focus
As a News Writer, Akshay loves to keep up with the fast-paced news cycle, with a focus on live-service games like Destiny 2, Diablo 4, and the latest Call of Duty title.
Favorite Console
While he has owned a PS4 before and wouldn't mind getting a PS5 someday, his platform of choice will always be PC.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Akshay's proudest gaming achievement will definitely be matching with a Destiny 2 YouTuber from a diferent server and making them sweat for a win. He ended up losing the match but put up one hell of a fight.
