Game Informer (GI)[a] was an American monthly video game magazine featuring articles, news, strategy, and reviews of video games and associated consoles. It debuted in August 1991 when video game retailer FuncoLand started publishing an in-house newsletter.[3][4] The publication was owned and published by GameStop, who 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.
Starting from the 2010s, Game Informer transitioned to a more online-based focus.[citation needed] In August 2024, GameStop discontinued Game Informer after 33 years of publication and 367 issues.[5][1] The content of its website was also wiped as any link to the website will show a farewell message.
