History

Switch Player was founded in 2016, by Paul Murphy, creator and lead editor of PlayStation Vita website and blog The Vita Lounge.[lower-alpha 1][4][5] Murphy created Vita Lounge due to the "lack of coverage" for the console in 2013.[4] Before the release of the magazine, a patreon was set up for the magazine, with backers receiving an A5 printed version of the magazine, with a run of 500 being created for each issue.[6] The first issue of the magazine was released on 31 January 2017.[2]

Shortly after, the magazine was represented on Metacritic, providing over 300 reviews in the first year of the magazines' run.[7][8]
