PLAYSTYLE explores the way we play, examining the interactions that take place between video games + the world.

HOME︎︎︎

PLAYSTYLE brings together stories about people, projects and ideas that place the medium of games into a wider cultural or societal context. We look to give space to an evolving view of video games that challenges many of the codified ideas we have about what games are, what they can be and who they are for.

Our stories place games in relation to topics such as art, design, architecture, music, fashion, food, sports and more, whilst creating space for voices often unheard within the traditional discourse that surrounds the medium.

PLAYSTYLE is shared online and as a free print zine, available at select stockists.
