This paper considers play as an archival practice and its impact on the future histories of videogames and digital culture. Drawing upon De Kosnik’s notion of ‘rogue archives’ (2016), this paper demonstrates how certain play activities generate archival materials and how noncanonical works and/as practices shape our digital cultural memory.
