The Game Informer Show

The Game Informer Show is the weekly podcast from Game Informer, one of the most recognized names in gaming media. Currently hosted by Alex Van Aken, Kyle Hilliard, Marcus Stewart, and Charles Harte, the show covers video game news, industry topics, exclusive reveals, and reviews. Episodes typically run one to two and a half hours and include timestamped segments for easy navigation. Game Informer the magazine has been around since 1991, giving it the deepest institutional history of almost any gaming outlet still operating. The podcast benefits from that legacy through access to developers, exclusive preview coverage, and a staff that has collectively spent decades embedded in the industry. When the show features a guest interview with a game director or studio head, the questions tend to be sharper than average because the hosts have often already spent hours with the game before sitting down to talk. The current lineup represents a newer generation of the show, with 62 episodes under this incarnation. Despite the relatively fresh episode count, the show carries a 4.5-star rating from over 1,400 reviews, many of which carry over from its long previous run. The hosts bring different strengths: some lean more toward analysis, others toward enthusiasm, and the mix creates a well-rounded weekly discussion. Episodes land on Thursdays and Fridays and are free with ads. The production quality is professional, as you would expect from a show backed by a major media brand. If you grew up reading Game Informer magazine and want that same editorial voice in podcast form, this is the direct continuation of that tradition.
