Who, what, where?
Playgamers Network (Playgamers or PG in short), is a 20 years old Norwegian gaming community for gaming entusiasts, playing games primarily on Xbox and Windows.
We are a community mainly consisting of adult gamers who have played for many years. We are not a hardcore group with strict requirements of participation and playing style, but rather aim to have fun in a more casual and relaxed way of gaming.
We use this site to check our gaming profiles, progress and statistics, and we also have an active Discord chat with gaming discussion channels.
How to become a member?
You don't have to apply or register somewhere, just come play with us on Xbox and chat with us on Discord! If you think this is something for you and that we're a cool community to hang with, you will be added as a member. As a member you will see your gaming profile and statistics on this site, and also get access to some benefits in our Discord server.
