Here’s the latest on Game Informer as of today.
Direct answer
- Game Informer is active again as of 2025–2026, with a relaunch of both its website and print publication after a purchase of the brand by Gunzilla Games, and staff rehiring. The site now publishes new articles and reviews for games released since the relaunch, and the print magazine resumed in mid-2025. This follows the 2024-08 shutdown news that led to a major industry shock, but the brand has since reemerged under new ownership.
Context and key developments
- Preceding the relaunch, Game Informer announced closure in August 2024, with the entire staff laid off and the website archives removed. This event was widely covered and referenced by industry observers and creators.
- In March 2025, reports and official statements indicated that Gunzilla Games acquired Game Informer, rehired former staff, and began reviving the publication’s online presence and archival access. By June 2025, print publication also resumed.
Current format and offerings
- The current GI operates as both a news/review site and a print magazine, continuing to publish game coverage, features, and podcasts, consistent with Game Informer’s historical role in the industry.
