Our Play NYC 2019 Coverage Hub will contain all of the articles that we produce as a result of our coverage of New York City's biggest dedicated gaming convention. We've covered Play NYC since its first year and we're not stopping anytime soon! This year, the TechRaptor team will be doing what we do best: finding interesting games and developers and bringing the best news, reviews, interviews, and features possible to our audience.

Everything in the Play NYC 2019 Coverage Hub is categorized by type and arranged in chronological order. We'll be updating this page live throughout the convention and in the weeks afterward.

A production of Playcrafting, this year's Play NYC will be taking place at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan on August 10–11, 2019.

Play NYC 2019 Coverage Hub — Graffiti Games

Graffiti Games special installations that you will only be able to play at Play NYC. This year's selection of Graffiti Games is focusing on the LGBTQ+ community.
Each of the Play NYC 2019 Graffiti Games are a reflection of the person who made them. Some are better suited to an art gallery than a Steam Store page; others could easily be released as a commercial product. And then there are the one or two that surely fall in the middle, being quirky, subversive, and entertaining all in one go.
