Game Informer (GI)[a] was an American monthly video game magazine featuring articles, news, strategy, and reviews of video games and game consoles. It debuted in August 1991, when the video game retailer FuncoLand started publishing an in-house newsletter.[3][4] It was acquired by the retailer GameStop, which bought FuncoLand in 2000. Due to this, a large amount of promotion was done in-store, which contributed to the success of the magazine. As of June 2017, it was the fifth-most popular magazine by copies circulated.
In August 2024, GameStop discontinued Game Informer after 33 years of publication and 368 issues.[1][5] The associated website was also shut down with its digital archive removed.[6][7]
