The Video Game Library is a free, comprehensive online resource dedicated to cataloging literature about video games. It provides an accessible platform for users to explore books covering a wide range of gaming topics, from game histories and developer biographies to cultural studies and critical essays. And of course, a healthy dose of fiction throughout. 

 

Founded in 2022, the project aims to fill a gap in the gaming research landscape by offering a centralized, easy-to-use platform for anyone interested in video game literature. With over 10,000 titles in more than 25 languages, it is a constantly growing archive. It includes a diverse selection of works, from rare and out-of-print books to well-known published titles. Users can search for books by game, creator, or theme, and easily find related books through detailed tags that link to similar works by the same authors or on the same topics. The site is designed to serve as a resource for gaming historians, academics, fans, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the video game medium.

​

This project aims to be a global, inclusive resource, supporting researchers, students, and educators with its curated collection. Whether you're a fan exploring new literature or a scholar conducting research, The Video Game Library offers an invaluable resource for discovering the written world behind video games.​​
