Games media sites catalogued [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2026-04-30  

The game industry remains in a troubled state, and games journalism is under similar pressure, with high-profile shutdowns, layoffs and sales. Polygon co-founder Chris Plante (now writing as Post Games) decided to review to state of affairs and assemble an incomplete catalogue of games media in 2026

Last Thursday, I spoke at NYU Game Center about the future of games journalism and how 50 years of history can tell us which ongoing trends should terrify us and which should give us hope. One trend that's an Unqualified Good is the current abundance of games media. Each publication in the image above is unique. And the slide represents a modest portion of the hundreds, if not thousands, of people using text, audio, and video to report, analyze, critique, contextualize, and archive the medium.

There's a bunch of sites and channels here that I didn't even know about and instantly go on my daily list!
