In short, the Open Gaming Research Initiative aims to bring together the entire games industry with best-in-class research. This effort covers all the extraordinary free content Naavik publishes in collaboration with its industry-leading creator network — including Naavik Digest, The Naavik Gaming Podcast, wide-ranging deep dives, and more to come. Topics cover all leading platforms and trends, and the outputs range from game deconstructions, genre reports, market updates, news analyses, tactical advice, in-depth conversations, and more. A huge thanks to our amazing creator network and partners who make this effort possible!
