Alex Co
Alex Co is a games media editor and reporter who leads MP1st, a gaming news outlet focused on multiplayer titles, game updates, and patch notes. He covers the technology and live operations of console and PC games, translating patches, server changes, and platform policies into practical information for players. He combines a high volume of update coverage with scoops and rumors about Sony and other major publishers, particularly around the PlayStation ecosystem.
Live coverage of game patches and technical updates
A large share of Co’s recent work is detailed reporting on new patches for live games. His articles on Silent Hill: Townfall, The Blood of Dawnwalker, Ark: Survival Ascended, and Ghost of Yotei follow a consistent format: version numbers in the headline, platform breakdowns, and summary descriptions of key fixes, balance changes, and new features. Across update pieces for games like Lords of the Fallen, Destiny 2, ARMA Reforger, Minecraft, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and Days Gone Remastered, he emphasizes bug fixes, co-op improvements, accessibility changes, and technical stability. He notes when patches introduce new modes or content, such as mods arriving on PS5 for ARMA Reforger or adaptive trigger improvements in Days Gone Remastered.
As editor of MP1st, he positions the outlet as a place where players can expect rapid coverage whenever a new title update rolls out.
PlayStation and platform strategy reporting
Co regularly writes news and rumor pieces tied to Sony and the wider PlayStation ecosystem.
His reporting on a potential new Killzone project draws on multiple unnamed sources to describe early-stage work between Guerrilla Games and an external studio on a remaster or remake, with clear caveats about how plans can change. He has covered retailer listings and leaks, including a report on Resident Evil 9 and several legacy Resident Evil titles appearing in a PS5 listing, treating them as unconfirmed but noteworthy signals for fans and publishers.
In a piece on Sony’s digital-only plans and Xbox’s push for a “100% physical” strategy, he focuses on how platform policies around physical media and digital distribution might shift over specific timelines, translating internal sentiment into concrete dates and scenarios. Alongside this, he covers more technical platform developments, including Sony’s patent for an AI system that turns gameplay into shareable highlight clips, linking consumer-facing features to underlying technology and intellectual property.
Multiplayer, shooters, and live-service troubleshooting
Co’s editorial focus highlights multiplayer and shooter titles, both in his written work and public professional bio. Articles on Wardogs and War Dogs track server instability, downtime, queue problems, and error codes, matching technical symptoms such as the WD-L018 error with concrete workarounds or fixes.
In coverage of Battlefield Labs Asia and other multiplayer tests, he treats closed playtests and lab environments as news, explaining invite waves, timing, and what participation means for players who follow those franchises closely.
Across patch pieces for Destiny 2, ARMA Reforger, and other co-op or competitive games, he brings the same troubleshooting lens, spotlighting changes to abilities, weapons, and netcode stability that affect day-to-day play. His social feed reinforces this orientation, with frequent posts about Battlefield, PlayStation news, and major multiplayer releases, aligning editorial priorities with interest in live-service games.
Editing leadership and long-running games media work
Co acquired the MP1st brand and has led it as editor-in-chief since 2017, positioning it as a leading source for gaming news, multiplayer coverage, and patch notes.
He has worked across multiple games outlets, including a PlayStation-focused site and broader gaming publications, bringing experience from those roles into MP1st’s mix of news, reviews, previews, hardware coverage, and features. His archive includes hardware reviews such as a detailed look at the HORI RAP V Hayabusa fight stick, reflecting comfort with controller and accessory technology alongside software coverage. Across this body of work, his distinguishing trait is treating game technology as an always-on service: he tracks updates, experiments, rumors, and infrastructure changes with the same level of detail, making his coverage particularly relevant for stories about multiplayer systems, platform policy, and technical updates that materially change how games are played.
