Does GameRant Have Videos and Shorts?

Updated

Yes. GameRant's site includes dedicated Videos and Shorts sections alongside its written news, reviews, and features. The homepage surfaces both formats directly, so you can watch a short clip or a longer video preview without leaving the site or hunting through a separate app.

What the Videos Section Contains

The Videos section hosts longer-form content, typically running several minutes to around half an hour. Based on the homepage listings, the format leans toward previews, rankings, and discussion-style shows rather than straight gameplay captures.

Examples visible on the site include:

  • Nintendo Switch Sports Resort – Video Preview (8:43), framed as a return of an easy-to-pick-up Nintendo franchise on Switch 2
  • Ranking EVERY Kingdom Hearts World So Far (27:47), a ranked discussion tied to Kingdom Hearts 4
  • Is Castlevania: Belmont's Curse THE Game We've Been Waiting For? (7:50), a demo-based look at an upcoming title

The pattern: video content mirrors the same games and topics covered in articles, so a written preview and a video preview often exist for the same release.

What the Shorts Section Contains

Shorts are short clips, generally around one to two minutes. They function as quick takes rather than full shows. Homepage examples include:

  • "GameStop is Jacking Up the Prices of Used PS5 Pro Consoles" (1:11)
  • "Why is Super Mario 64 so timeless?" (1:18)
  • "New Steam Sci-Fi Metroidvania Like Ori Meets Outer Wilds Makes Traditional Progression Feel Boring" (1:09)
  • "Why Do N64 Games Still Feel Playable Today?" (1:09)

Shorts are credited to individual staff members and are built for fast browsing — a single observation, question, or news beat per clip.

How Videos and Articles Relate

Format Typical length Best for Example topic
Articles Full read News, reviews, features, interviews Steam free game claim deadline
Videos ~7–28 minutes Previews, rankings, deeper discussion Kingdom Hearts world ranking
Shorts ~1–2 minutes Quick takes and single questions Why Super Mario 64 still holds up

The three formats cover overlapping subject matter. If you want the full argument, read the article; if you want to see the game or hear the ranking, watch the video; if you only have a minute, the Shorts feed gives you the headline take.

Where to Find Them

Both sections are reachable from the GameRant homepage, which lists Popular News, Shorts, Videos, Popular Games, and Exclusive Stories as its main content blocks. The Videos block includes a "See More" link to browse the full library. No separate app or login is described in the site's own listings for viewing this content.

If your goal is to follow a specific game — say, a preview you read about — check the Videos section first, since previews and rankings are the most common long-form video formats there. For breaking reactions, the Shorts feed is the faster route.
