Formed in August 1991,"10 Years of Game Informer" (August 2001). Game Informer, p. 42. "In August of 1991, Funcoland began publishing a six-page circular to be handed out free in all of its retail locations." the magazine has nearly 3 million subscribers according to Andrew Reiner, making it the highest circulated video game magazine, and as of the first quarter of 2007, it is listed as the 23rd largest overall magazine. Game Informer is now ranked among the top four magazines for reaching males 18 to 34.

It is owned and published by GameStop Corp., the parent company of the video game retailer of the same name. Due to this, a large amount of promotion is done in-store, which has contributed heavily to its large subscription base, especially as a subscription is included with the store's Gamer's Edge discount card.
