Game Informer is a video-game magazine and news outlet that was shut down by GameStop in August 2024 and relaunched in March 2025 after Gunzilla Games acquired its rights. Game Informer's Twitter Score is 14 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranked #66,658 among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Game Informer traces its origins to 1991, when video-game retailer FuncoLand enlisted employee Andy McNamara to create the magazine. The publication was formerly affiliated with FuncoLand and later with GameStop, which ultimately closed it and laid off its entire staff on August 2, 2024. Gunzilla Games then acquired the rights and relaunched the outlet on March 25, 2025, under a separate entity called Game Informer Inc. The full team that was employed at the time of the closure returned for the relaunch, and both the website and its historical article archive were restored.
Game Informer states that it operates as an independent editorial outlet, with its editorial team making all coverage decisions free from influence by Gunzilla Games or any other party. Its owner develops the NFT-enabled game Off The Grid and the GUNZ blockchain platform, which forms the publication's principal connection to the crypto space. A return of the print magazine was scheduled following the relaunch, and in May 2025 Game Informer expanded its digital archive to include every issue back to the original 1991 debut. The publication remains active, with new reporting continuing to appear on its website.
Game Informer has 2,183,026 followers as of August 2026 on Twitter and has published 93,032 posts. The account has been mentioned by 65 accounts a total of 286 times.
