Another one of gaming's print magazines is shutting up shop. PLAY, Future Publishing's PlayStation magazine, has announced the latest issue will be its last.
Issue #46 features Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on the cover with a hands-on preview, plus info on PS5 Pro, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Ghost of Yotei, and plenty more. It goes on sale later this month, and then that'll be the end of it.
It's a real shame. PLAY might be a relatively young magazine, but its roots can be traced all the way back to Official PlayStation Magazine, which got started right around the launch of the original PlayStation.
Future Publishing brought us not only this official look at what was coming up on Sony's platforms, but an unofficial magazine, PSM2 (and PSM3) was its more untethered sibling. As noted in editor Oscar Taylor-Kent's farewell message, PLAY was put together by numerous ex-staffers from these other publications.
Our thoughts go out to those affected by PLAY's closure; we hope everybody lands on their feet and can continue to do great work.
