2025 has been a big year for the team here at Game Informer, and we’re incredibly grateful to all of you who have chosen to explore our content here on the site, and especially to those who have taken the leap to subscribe to the magazine. As we round out the year in which we relaunched Game Informer, we’re happy to share a new milestone that’s on the way in the coming weeks: You’ll soon find Game Informer available at newsstands across the U.S, as well as in select locations internationally.
Beginning with our December issue featuring Dragon Quest VII Reimagined on the cover, readers will be able to visit local stores where magazines are sold and snag a new copy off the shelf.
Even as the list continues to expand, this first issue will be available in the United States at Barnes & Noble, Books a Million, GameStop, and Gelson’s, among other local markets. We are also excited to be appearing for the first time in several other international locations, including magazine merchants in the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Hungary, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, and Japan. Starting in January, the magazine will also appear on newsstands in Canada, France, Spain, and Poland.
We’ll be expanding the scope of where you can find Game Informer Magazine over the coming months across newsstands, game stores, and more.
If you’re already subscribed, nothing will change about the magazine – we will continue to offer exclusive and in-depth insight into the biggest games, creators, and stories happening around the industry, alongside previews, reviews, and more. For readers who want to try out a single issue first, the newsstand edition will offer that same editorial content.
If you haven’t yet subscribed to the magazine, we hope it gives you a chance to page through and see the kinds of games we’re featuring, the gorgeous layouts, and the work we put in to ensure each issue enriches your gaming hobby. You can click on the banner on this page or follow this link to subscribe today for a host of benefits: 10 issues a year including our end-of-year XL-sized Special Edition, comprehensive digital magazine access to over 370 issues going back to our very first release in 1991, exclusive web features, fewer ads, and the great feeling that comes with knowing 5% of your subscription purchase directly supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
You can expect to see the first issue arrive in stores this December; if you enjoy what we do, we’d invite you to consider picking up an issue for a friend or family member for holiday gifting. The word of mouth and support you can share about Game Informer’s return is deeply appreciated.
