Game Informer Magazine Shuts Down After 33 Years

The End of an Era for the Gaming Industry

Game Informer, one of the longest-running and most respected video game magazines in the United States, has announced that it will be shutting down after 33 years.

The news was announced on Friday by Game Informer editor-in-chief Andy McNamara, who said that the decision was made after "much deliberation and a heavy heart." McNamara said that the magazine's final issue will be published in August 2024.

Game Informer was founded in 1991 and was acquired by GameStop in 2000. The magazine has been a staple of the gaming industry for decades, providing in-depth coverage of the latest games, consoles, and industry news.

The closure of Game Informer is a sign of the changing times for the gaming industry. With the rise of digital media, traditional print magazines have struggled to compete. Game Informer's closure is also a blow to the gaming journalism community, which is losing one of its most respected voices.
