A video game newsletter for everyone

A little bit about me and this newsletter

Welcome to Postgame, a newsletter that summarizes the week in video games into something digestible, and if we’re lucky, enjoyable. Postgame is meant for everybody, whether you live inside game forums or you just tried Animal Crossing and want to know… what’s next?

New issues will appear in your inbox on Sunday mornings.

I’m Chris Plante, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Polygon, Vox Media’s modern entertainment publication.

I’m also the editor of Quest: The Roleplaying Game for Everyone; a co-host of The Besties, Spotify’s exclusive video game podcast; and I created NYU Game Center’s Intro to Games Journalism. I was previously the Culture Editor of The Verge, and my writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, MTV, and a forgotten iPad-only magazine called The Daily.

I’ve dedicated a considerable chunk of my life to appreciating, criticizing, understanding, and discovering video games. I can’t wait to share with you some of what I’ve learned.

While I learn how a newsletter works (and have few enough subscribers to avoid a fee on Substack) I’ll keep the newsletter free. So please subscribe!
