About

Games: Research and Practice publishes major contributions to games and playable media that are practically useful and grounded in robust evidence and argument. A quarterly peer-reviewed online journal published jointly by the ACM and ETC Press, it offers a lighthouse for games research – a central reference point that defines the state of the art on games and playable media, bridging academic research and industry practice. 

Inclusive in community, discipline, method, and game form, it publishes major reviews, tutorials, and advances on games and playable media, alongside case studies, opinions, and dialogues on new developments that will change games. It embraces open science and scholarship and actively champions new and underrepresented voices.
