Abstract
PSExtreme (sometimes written as PS Extreme) was a PlayStation magazine by Dimension Publishing. Originally launched as Dimension PS-X, the magazine was quickly renamed by the fourth issue. The staff of PSExtreme included several alumni from GameFan magazine.
Around the launch of the PlayStation 2 console in fall 2000, the magazine was relaunched as PSE2: PlayStation Extreme Magazine, focusing on PlayStation 2 games and later PSP games. It was relaunched a second time around 2005–2006, this time simply known as PSE (or PlayStation Extreme Magazine).
