All about: Official PlayStation Magazine

The Official PlayStation Magazine is a publication based in the United Kingdom that provides news on all things PlayStation. The magazine was originally distributed every three months, but from the second issue, it became a monthly magazine. The magazine generally covers the PlayStation Three (PS3) and PlayStation Portable (PSP) platforms. This article gives you an overview of the Official PlayStation Magazine.

Official UK PlayStation Magazine

History The magazine originally began as the Official UK PlayStation Magazine. This ran for 108 issues, spanning from November 1995, to coincide with the release of the PlayStation 1 (PS), until March 2004. Within the first two years of its creation, the magazine became a huge success, by becoming the biggest selling video-games magazine in the world. At this time, in 1997, it was selling more than 150,000 copies, with a peak readership of 453, 571 being recorded in 1999 after the release of the video game, Metal Gear Solid.

Official UK PlayStation 2 Magazine

The Official UK PlayStation 2 Magazine was first released in November 2000, as a sequel to the original magazine. This coincided with the released of the PlayStation 2 console. 100 editions of the magazine were made, with the last coming in June 2008. Like the original magazine, it was a success by becoming the United Kingdom's biggest selling PlayStation 2 magazine.
