'''Playism''' (stylized as '''PLAYISM''') is a Japanese independent video game publisher operated by Active Gaming Media. Playism started as a digital distribution platform for PC games in May 2011.<ref name="PlayismUAG">{{Cite web|url=https://playism.com/page/about|title=What is Playism|website=Playism|access-date=April 28, 2019|quote=PLAYISM, part of Active Gaming Media Inc., focuses on the localization and distribution of video games.}}</ref>

==History== Playism was launched by Active Gaming Media in May 2011 as a digital distribution platform for PC games. It was founded by Shunji Mizutani, who has run it as executive producer since.<ref name="automaton 2020"/> Its launch titles included ''Machinarium'' and ''SpaceChem''. Its goal was to introduce western-developed indie titles to the Japanese market, and to localize Japanese doujin games for overseas audience.<ref name="siliconera launch"/><ref name="vg247-i p1"/>

In April 2013, Playism began a project with HAL College of Technology & Design in both Osaka and Nagoya. The project involves students creating games in four-person teams over a period of several months. The games would then be judged by Playism staff, Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya (''Cave Story''), Smoking Wolf (''One Way Heroics''), and members of Nigoro (''La-Mulana''). The highest-rated games were then localized by Playism, and released on the PLAYISM store page for purchase.

Playism was closely involved in the administration of the indie-based game event BitSummit in March 2013, helping both with translation and interpretation as well as with logistics. In September 2013, Playism collaborated with Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia on an event called Indie Stream. Originally planned by indie developers Nigoro and Nyamyam, Indie Stream was designed to bring indie developers from both Japan and abroad together to meet and share information.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vg247.com/2013/09/09/sony-japan-hosting-indie-stream-at-tgs-with-playism-with-exciting-announcements/|title=Sony Japan hosting "Indie Stream" at TGS with Playism with "Exciting Announcements"|last=Miller|first=Ewan|date=September 9, 2013|website=VG247|publisher=Gamer Network|access-date=April 28, 2019}}</ref> It was announced at Indie Stream that PLAYISM would be assisting indie developers in publishing their games on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.siliconera.com/2015/04/22/playism-confirms-the-japanese-games-its-bringing-to-ps4-ps-vita-this-year/|title=Playism Confirms The Japanese Games It's Bringing To PS4, PS Vita This Year|last=Priestman|first=Chris|date=April 22, 2015|website=Siliconera|publisher=Curse LLC|access-date=April 28, 2019}}</ref>

Playism closed its digital storefront on March 24, 2021, ceasing download service and sales of Steam keys on the website. The company announced that this would not affect its other businesses, and would continue publishing video games for Steam, GOG.com, and other home game consoles.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/indie-publisher-playism-is-closing-its-store-this-month/ |title= Indie publisher Playism is closing its DRM-free store this month |last= Macgregor |first= Jody |date= March 21, 2021|website=PC Gamer |publisher=Future plc|access-date= January 20, 2025}}</ref>
