It focuses on the comprehensive discourse of games and digital games, including theoretical and empirical studies, research results, and their implementation into practice, as well as professional publication reviews and scientific reviews of digital games.
Journal issues include scientific reflections on digital and non-digital games, and related media and digital competencies, their creation, design, development, research, history, sociology, psychology, marketing, and the future associated with phenomena of the digital-gaming sector.
