Artefact

Artefact is a French technology company dedicated to making high-quality gaming and computing accessible to everyone. Founded with the idea that powerful PCs and reliable hardware should not be limited to professionals or high-budget gamers, Artefact specializes in reconditioned systems, custom gaming builds, and optimized machines for both casual and competitive use.

Mission and Values

Artefact’s mission is to give players and creators the tools they need to enjoy smooth, reliable, and affordable technology. By refurbishing and upgrading professional-grade machines, Artefact reduces electronic waste while also delivering excellent performance at a fraction of the cost of new hardware. Sustainability, accessibility, and passion for gaming are at the heart of the company’s values.

The company firmly believes that esports and gaming communities thrive when technology is accessible. That philosophy extends beyond the workshop: Artefact invests time and resources into supporting amateur competition and grassroots initiatives in France.

Activities

Artefact’s expertise covers a broad range of services:

• Reconditioned PCs: Restoring business-class desktops into modern, optimized gaming or creative machines.
• Custom Gaming Rigs: Tailored builds to match the performance requirements of modern titles, from esports standards to high-end AAA games.
• Retro Gaming Solutions: Special systems built for emulation and the preservation of gaming heritage.
• Maintenance and Upgrades: Hardware optimization, cleaning, and component updates to extend the lifespan of existing PCs.

By combining technical know-how with a customer-first approach, Artefact has become a trusted partner for local players, gaming cafés, and entertainment venues.

Esports Sponsorship

Artefact is not only a hardware provider but also an active supporter of esports. Since 2023, the company has sponsored several amateur Rocket League and multigaming tournaments across the Occitanie region in France. These events, often organized in partnership with local associations such as Save Esport, give young players the opportunity to experience a professional tournament atmosphere in their hometowns.

The Artefact Cup, a recurring amateur competition, has already welcomed dozens of players and continues to grow as a grassroots esports event. Artefact provides logistical support, visibility, and prizes, ensuring that local communities can enjoy structured and motivating competitive experiences.

While the tournaments remain amateur in nature, the sponsorship demonstrates Artefact’s long-term commitment to fostering the growth of esports at every level — not only on the big international stages, but also at the heart of local communities.

Community Engagement

Artefact regularly shares tournament recaps, gaming news, and technical guides through its online platforms. By bridging the gap between hardware expertise and community spirit, the company hopes to inspire more players to join competitions, build their own setups, and engage with the esports ecosystem.

The sponsorships also highlight Artefact’s role as a connector: encouraging collaboration between municipalities, cultural venues, and gaming associations. From organizing tournaments in cultural centers to setting up VR experiences in entertainment parks, Artefact ensures that gaming is seen as a positive, inclusive, and forward-looking activity.

Looking Ahead

Artefact continues to expand its presence in both technology and esports. Future goals include supporting larger amateur tournaments, developing educational workshops about sustainable computing, and building stronger ties with esports organizations across Europe.

By combining its dedication to technology with a passion for competitive gaming, Artefact positions itself as more than just a hardware company — it is a true partner in the growth of the esports scene.
