Don’t worry, it’s in the works! Will just take a moment as we continue our updates

You really need to look at the usability of the Polygon site. I genuinely gave it a decent go but its wretched post redesign. There’s no way to get a simple chronological newsfeed and pretty much everything above the fold is useless for your most engaged readers. My usage of the site has fallen off a cliff tbh.

You guys keep mentioning the music from Steam World, you all should check out a local San Diego band named Steam Powered Giraffe. They do the music and appear in several games. Also, please check out Cat Quest 3, it’s such a fun, quick (10hoursish) game with co-op!

Looking at the Most Anticipated block and seeing the new Star Wars game is partially inspired by After Hours is certainly a way to quadruple my anticipation, so well done there.

Congrats, this looks so good! I’m a PM and exactly how painful redesigns can be - ya’ll did a beautiful job!

Humbly requesting you bring back the zombocom search easter egg from the first version of the website

I really love the redesign so far! Also agree with a lot of ppl, dark mode would be nice, especially by default. I haven’t tried it on desktop yet but on mobile, it’s nice to have a website that doesn’t instantly make my phone explode and has a more thoughtful user end. Long live Polygon 😤

Wonderful! The recent video essays I have seen have been fantastic.

Polygon is dead, long live Polygon

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chris
Yep, hoping to have a dark mode in the not so distant future!

This is so exciting. Since the Twitter collapse I’ve had such a hard time finding online spaces that celebrate games and other media, and this feels like a step toward Polygon becoming that space. Love it 🔥🔥

Hey Plante—you don't need me to say this, I'm sure, but you're a stellar writer. I'm excited to keep watching Polygon pursue its goals, but I had to stop and say how much I enjoyed just reading your words!

Update looks great, happy for you guys and the team :)
Midnight Oil
Looks great, kudos to you and the team

I have a general aversion to websites that move from wide content fill to narrow fill, so it'll be an adaptation.

Pretty solid improvement on desktop. Harder to parse on mobile. Biggest change needed is to have the “The Latest” header be clickable and bring us to a chronological list of articles posted. Well done on all the work!

I love you guys but this change has made it difficult to read, are there plans for a dark mode at the very least? It’s honestly giving me old Kotaku vibes which isn’t something I enjoyed either :(

How many sides does this one have??
