Even though film is having the biggest esthetical impact on videogames, player’s participation during the gameplay suggests rather a theatrical – per- formative trope. It shouldn’t be however the reason to question narrative aspects of videogames. In this article I signal that mainstream videogames are drifting away from competition and moving closer to narration of intere- sting stories, in which a player is participating and also becomes a narrator. I describe this occurrence using Erika Ficher-Lichte’s performative esthetics and Jean Baudrillard’s simulation theory.
