Game Informer, one of the longest-running video game print publications in the U.S., abruptly shut down on Friday after 33 years.
Game Informer , one of the longest-running U.S. print magazines focusing on video games, is shutting down. The outlet published a statement Friday on X that announced the closure after 33 years.
From the early days of pixelated adventures to today’s immersive virtual realms, we’ve been honored to share this incredible journey with you, our loyal readers. While our presses may stop, the passion for gaming that we’ve cultivated together will continue to live on.

The magazine was published and owned by GameStop ever since an acquisition in 2000 with Game Informer’s previous owner, FuncoLand. It was available as part of GameStop’s PowerUp Rewards Pro program.
In March, editor-in-chief Matt Miller announced that Game Informer was getting its own standalone subscription. The statement noted how tough it’s been to get a copy of each monthly issue over the past few years, and that the team understood it was coming during a hard time for the industry.
