PlayStation World (PSW) was a monthly video games magazine that covered the PlayStation brand. The pages were filled with news, previews, reviews and letter pages.

The magazine had a circulation of 17,132 along with a readership of 210,000.[1] On 13 August 2009, Future Publishing announced it was to close the PSW magazine, citing "decreasing demand" as the reason for the publication's closure.[2]

PSW magazine also included a DVD; showing clips, trailers, reviews and previews of the latest games. The DVD menu was based upon Sony's XMB (Xross Media Bar). Along with the DVD, the magazine occasionally came with an additional booklet (cheat book or game guide) and a promotional article (as in a newspaper or similar) on an upcoming game.

In February 2011, a new PlayStation World was launched (Commonly abbreviated PSW) and has a YouTube channel called 1playstationworld. The new PSW has its own domain name and website. This is an upcoming company and it is still growing. The site, PlayStation world, is mainly a forum and it is used by all kinds of gamers as it has a wide variety of forums, spanning from PlayStation world news to things like Motion FX editing and even has forums for other platforms such as Xbox as well as a forum for off topic subjects. Every now and again the night holds gaming nights for fun, trophies or boosting. It has proved a popular hit with gamers from all over the world with the content it has to offer
