Play (UK magazine)

Play (stylized as PLAY) is a monthly magazine produced by Imagine Publishing[1] in the United Kingdom, which reports on Sony's PlayStation product range. It is the UK's longest-running PlayStation magazine.[6] Issue 269, the magazine's final printed edition was published in April 2016, and it has since become a digital only publication.[7] As well as being sold in the UK, PLAY is also sold in Australia. Though because of the distance between the two countries, Australia is one month behind, so some of the information may be inaccurate or old. Prior to issue 249, PLAY came with a covermounted DVD every issue.
