launch_date. Replace with launched.Polygon is an American entertainment website which covers video games, movies, television, comics, and other popular culture. It was launched in October 2012 by Vox Media as its third property. In May 2025, Polygon was sold to Valnet.
The website had eight co-founding editors, which included the editors-in-chief of the gaming sites Joystiq, Kotaku and The Escapist. It sought to distinguish itself by focusing on the stories of the people behind video games and long-form magazine-style feature articles.
