Your Digital Hobby on Paper

Hello, we're Patch: a small-but-mighty magazine that brings the joy of indie games right to your hands. Launched by a small group of gaming enthusiasts with a mission to revive print, Patch was a passion project long before it grew to become the leading monthly indie gaming magazine. But even as we grow, our mission remains simple: to share our love for games in a tangible and inclusive way.

Each month, our talented team of artists and writers craft each issue from scratch, taking care with every little detail. We're determined to keep things approachable and fun, whether you’re new to gaming or have years of experience. We come up with new ideas each month to keep things exciting: including creative activities like on-page games, crafts, and written adventures. Who's to say the fun has to be taken out of magazines as you grow older?

Although we say it ourselves, Patch is a visual delight! From the soft, silk-finish paper to the matte-laminated cover, Patch is a collector’s item in its own right. Yet, if you’d rather take Patch along on your adventures, its A5, slim size makes it wonderfully portable. Slip it into your bag to keep you company on the go, or display it proudly in your gaming cave. 

For just £3.99 a month (plus shipping for print), you’ll join a welcoming community just as passionate about indie games as you are. And while our print magazine is our pride and joy, a digital version is also available for those who prefer a screen-friendly option!
