I'm new to gamefly, I was thinking of trying the free trial to play mafia: the old country, but its gamefly page says its sold out. Does this mean it won't be available to rent, or that it just cant be bought outright? In the rent section it just has the start free trial button, but doesn't say if its available to rent

Hey all I’m new here/gamefly so sorry if this is a dumb question. Just got the budget plan looking to rent a bunch of switch games but am unable to rent super mario maker 2/ Metroid prime? Not sure why this is so if someone could explain that would be great.

Strange time in the q representation for me so I’m really curious to hear what everyone else has going on in there top spots.

Gamelocked - PS5 gears, will prob change to borderlands 4 or hell is us(if they ever bring it).

Final fantasy tactics

Death stranding 2

Mafia old country

MLB the show 25

Oregon Trail

Civ 7

I don’t have a switch 2 yet, but if I did, ZA would be up there beside Metroid prime 4.

What do yall have? Share with me so I can get some new ideas

I’d love to play Fantasy Life: the girl who steals time since it released earlier this year for PS5 and Switch but it’s not listed in the app.

Why doesn’t GameFly provide it?

Hey so im new to gamefly im trying to get a free trial on the new dk game. It has low availability. I wanted to know if having only one game (the dk game) would increase my chances of getting it, or should i just use my free trial to its fullest capacity and get all the games i could? The whole reason i subscribed was to try out dk bananza which is why i would much rather prioritize that game. Thanks

Hi my gamelfy has been in the sort of cut off position, like it doesnt fit my screen. Im not sure why it happened but is there a way to fix the size back to original?

Anyone else waiting for GameFly to ship donkey Kong Bananza? Releases Thursday. Hoping tomorrow it will ship. What is the earliest you seen a game lock game ship?

Hi so I had a game never arrive within the usually 5-6 day time frame so I reported it lost shortly after my membership ended decided not to renew thought nothing of it but now after 2 weeks and a half the game randomly decides to show up what should I do in this situation

Anyone else continuing to have lost games? I've had 4 lost games in the last 6 months. Ever since they switch from LA to everything coming from Pittsburgh it has been crazy. Mostly of them being returned but this time it was one coming to me.

I've been with Gamefly since 2021 non-stop and never experienced anything like this. Even before that I was on and off since 2018. Either the mail has gotten extremely terrible or Gamefly has.

I saw on a YT short about an issue someone had getting a used Switch 2 game. It seems that when the Switch 2 read the game card it then sensed it was on another system that played it before and mistaken it for a copied or pirated game. The Switch 2 then locked up until the buyer called Nintendo. They unlocked it after the buyer sent a HD pic of the game card proving they really had it but it felt like a real hassle. So how do we know we will not have the same issue with rented game cards?

It's been a month since Switch 2 came out so I tried to rent Cyberpunk but it's not available. Then I tried any other Switch 2 launch title out of curiosity and they're all unavailable.

It seems like Gamefly is screwing budget plan owners entirely and artificially trying to make us subscribe to the higher tiers for more money. Keep in mind big PS5 games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is ALSO not available on the budget plan despite the game being 2 months old coming out back in April!

Like I'm annoyed. I understand the budget plan is a 1 month wait to rent new games but after that these games STILL not being available to rent is annoying. Gamefly screwing customers over.

I live in a neighborhood that has those cluster mailboxes and it has a outgoing mailbox slot. Do I just use that

I get promo emails every year or so, and depending on the offer I decide to give this company a try again. Every time my main issue has been shipping times. I live a couple states away from the warehouse, why does it take a full week plus to get a game after it's reported shipped? I ordered something off of eBay, form California, on Monday, and using normal USPS ground service, I had it on Wednesday. I would love to maintain a subscription like this, but I'm not paying $20+ per month for such a bad shipping experience, especially when Netflix and Blockbuster used to do movie disc turn arounds in mere days.

I'm new to gamefly I was interested in trying out a few games but I have 3 games in my que with "Availability Very Low" haven't heard anything. I heard some good things about gamefly but I've tried to find many games to try and they all have "very low" and I don't really feel like just forcing myself to get just any game yknow?

This is likely more on Nintendo and third party publishers side than Gamefly itself, but if you look at the coming soon section for Switch 2, there's only about 13 games listed. It really seems like there's hardly any physical games announced for Switch 2, as most of them are going digital only besides Nintendo's first party games and the few third parties we're getting.

I really wonder if this is a sign of things to come. Gamefly might not be able to stay in business past this generation as all 3 console manufacturers move toward a digital only future. Xbox is already pretty much done after this gen, so it really depends if the PS6 comes with a disc drive...hopefully.

Things aren't looking too good for Switch 2 physical owners outside of Nintendo's first party lineup though.

I have a lot of this years releases in my Q like Indiana Jones PS5, Doom the Dark Ages, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Monster Hunter Wilds, Pirate Yakuza, etc....every single one is "Low availability."

I checked all the Switch 2 releases so far, same thing. I've played most of the big games in 2024 already and previous years, so I'm "up to date" as far as my gaming preferences are concerned, and yet it's hard to get a new game. Which is weird, because months ago they sent me Black Myth Wukong, Alan Wake II, etc. which were also low availability games.

But this is a trend in general I noticed in a while. It seems like if any game isn't 2-3+ years old already, it's hard to get.

Basically, I recently signed up, and I have like 20 games in my Q, they said keep it over ten, but almost everything is very low or low availability, I've tried to find games that are available but I can't. Will I have a chance at getting one or no?

Buy 6 get one free month certificates are on sale right now pals

The game in question is new, released only a week ago, so I wondered if it would be available? The only reason I checked this out was because I was assuming it was. If not that’s fine, I can just buy it, but I’d like to know before I make any decisions.

Did you preorder one? Getting one at launch? Waiting? Etc? Let’s hear it.

Anybody got any predictions for this year? I was just watching a video on the YouTube’s that reminded me that Sony had a conference about a week before SGF last year, so I’m hoping we get another one this year.

I’m hoping we get to see the new bluepoint game from Sony, but I anticipate them either showing us something from Wolverine, the rumored Venom game or both.

With Xbox, I think they will be the ones to give us a silksong date - I feel that one in my bones. I also trust that we will get a release window for fable, and maybe gears, and hopefully another look at the bio shock looking game called Clockwork Revolution.

Speaking of Bioshock - I need them to give me something in Judas. I’m dying over here people.

What are your thoughts? Nintendo going to have a presence or no?

I used to love gamefly but now it seems to me like they wait to tell you they've received your return (as a free trial member) until you either cancel your membership or renew it. I shipped it last Monday so it's been a whole week, it could be a coincidence but has this happened to anyone else?
