Information Needed to Cite

In order to cite video games, you will need certain information. MLA, APA, and Chicago styles require a great deal of the same information. For all three styles you will need:

  • Game Title
  • Platform
  • Publisher
  • Publication Date
  • Version (update number)
  • Contributor/ Author/ Rights Holder

Keep in mind that the citation styles for video games are somewhat in flux and may change in time.
