PLAY21 returns from Nov 5 until Nov 13 under the motto "Restart Together". This year's edition offers both online and in-person events. Computer and video games have become much more important since the beginning of the pandemic. With strict contact restrictions in place outdoors, many social activities have shifted to virtual gaming worlds. PLAY21 addresses questions concerning how, in a global crisis situation, games can bring people together, how games can become alternative venues for encounters and can open up new spaces for reflection, and how gaming culture will change through and after Corona.
