Joystiq was a video gaming blog which was part of the Weblogs, Inc. family later owned by AOL. It was active from 2004 to 2015, acting as the primary video game blog for the group, and operating alongside Engadget and sister blogs such as Massively. From 2007 it hosted The Joystiq Podcast, which was hosted by editor-in-chief Chris Grant, reviews editor Justin McElroy and Ludwig Kietzmann. The website's staff also included Justin's brother Griffin McElroy as weekend editor. The original podcast was discontinued in 2011, but similar shows continued for the remainder of the site's lifetime in various formats.
Grant and the McElroy brothers left the site in 2012 to found the gaming website Polygon, with Kietzmann taking over as editor-in-chief. The site's readership declined through the following years, and Joystiq was shut down by AOL on February 3, 2015. The web address today redirects to Engadget Gaming, which hosts much of the site's old content. Joystiq's Massively team branched off during the closure and launched Massively Overpowered.
