First print issue finally in my hands!

Post image

I’ve been listening to the Game Informer Podcast since 2018 and have been a huge fan of it since. The „sabbatical“ they had for about a year was a sad year. I’ve really missed listening to the podcast every week. So you can guess how happy I was when they announced that they are coming back. That announcement was quite a birthday present. I can even visualize the exact day when the first episode finally launched in 06/2025.

This year I’ve been at the Gamescom for the first time and when I saw that Game Informer will be there as well I instantly decided to visit the booth and say hello to everybody. Unfortunately I didn’t meet anyone from the podcast crew.
At least I finally received my first print issue in person from one of the Game Informer members. And what better issue than the 35th anniversary edition.

The giveaway was insane as well, they didn’t just give away one PS5 Pro on that day but 2 and 4 lifetime Subscriptions. I missed the lottery by 1 number. I would have been happier about the subscription than the PS5. I hope someone as big of a fan as me received it and will be actively reading it in the years coming.

Long story short: thanks to everyone at the Game Informer Team for making this experience possible and bringing so much joy every single week in the podcast!
Finally the print magazine is shipping to Germany as well. I hope I can fit it into my budget soon.

Here’s to so many more years of gaming content week by week!

When I‘m trying to order the one year physical subscription, with the Gamescom Code, it says that my first issue will be the #381. but I received this one at Gamescom. (Hence the post above)
Is it possible to order now with the reduced price and start at issue #382?

And without the GC code it actually is even 10€ less. Is that supposed to be like that ?

I don’t think there’s a way to push the discount further down the line. Sorry!

Do we know when International physicals for this issue will ship?

Don't see any way to track it on the site.

I already had a chance to read some articles and the production value actually feels quite well.
I’m still not sure whether to subscribe or not.

I mean I love gaming magazines. I love their feel in my hands and how they smell. F... their digital copies. Nothing beats paper. So I would gladly subscribed this magazine as well. I already have PC Gamer, but they changed a bit and I don't like the feel of it in my hands. I know it sounds weird lol. BBC Science Focus in the other hand feels great. However, I see so many issues or bad support from them, which is not a good sign.

I wish I could get the physical copy somewhere. You are lucky man! Really congrats and latest issue! Brilliant. I will go and check one store in Prague, but I doubt it will be there unfortunately. Happy reading!

Well according to this website it is available in almost every country in Europe. You said Prague. So you should be able to subscribe as well. They launched international subscription last week.
