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,[citation needed] so some of the information may be inaccurate or old. Prior to issue 249, PLAY came with a covermounted DVD every issue.
