A four-person editorial team reads every email. We aim to respond within five working days — usually faster, occasionally slower when a long review is shipping. Use the form below, or write to one of the desk addresses directly.

Before you write, maybe this helps
A handful of questions we get often enough that we may as well answer them up front.
Can I pitch a review?
Yes, but please read our existing reviews first. We publish about three a month, and most are written by staff. The freelance budget exists, it's just small. The best pitches are for games or angles we haven't already covered, with a writer's voice already on the page.
Will you review my game?
Maybe. If you're a developer or publisher, send a code to pitches@ with a brief note. We don't promise coverage in exchange. We don't accept paid placements. We do read every email, and if a game catches our eye it gets queued.
I think you got something wrong.
Please tell us. Write to corrections@. We publish a dated correction at the bottom of the original article, and the more substantive ones get their own follow-up note in the next Friday brief. We don't silently edit.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes — one click from any newsletter footer, or by writing to subscriber-help@. Refunds for annual subscriptions are pro-rated. We don't run dark patterns; if you signed up by accident we'll just give the money back.
Will you join my podcast?
Sometimes. Most invitations go to press@ and the answer depends on the editor's calendar. We don't do sponsored appearances, and we don't go on podcasts where the conversation is structured around a product launch.
I have a news tip.
Use tips@. We accept anonymous tips, and we honour source confidentiality. If your tip involves a story that may put you at risk professionally, please say so up front and we'll handle it with care from the first message.
