What News and Industry Coverage Is Available on Gameindustry.com?
Updated
Gameindustry.com carries news and industry coverage alongside its reviews, organized into dated posts under sections such as "News & Industry Happenings." The coverage leans toward game updates, re-releases, and version changes rather than business or financial reporting. If you want to track what is changing in existing games — patches, remasters, DLC, and next-gen upgrades — this is the part of the site to watch.
What the news section covers
Based on the homepage listing, news items cluster around a few recurring subjects:
- Game updates and technical upgrades. A representative example is "Metro 2033 And Metro Last Light Getting Free Next Gen Graphics and Performance Update," which reports on existing titles receiving new graphics and performance work.
- DLC and content additions. "Darkest Dungeon Reopens Its Depths With The Fire's Edge DLC" covers new content for an established game, naming the added characters and the studio behind it.
- Early Access releases. Entries such as "Better Than Dead Takes a Strong First Shot in Early Access" and "Fatekeeper Shows Brutal Promise in Early Access" track games entering Early Access and what state they arrive in.
- Remakes and sequels. "Stronghold 4 Looks Ready to Reclaim the Castle" discusses a demo from Firefly Studios and how it compares to the series' earlier strengths.
The through-line is change to games you may already know, not corporate earnings, studio acquisitions, or market analysis.
How the coverage is structured
| Element | What you get |
|---|---|
| Section label | "News & Industry Happenings" groups the news posts |
| Dating | Individual posts carry explicit dates, e.g. October 12, 2026 |
| Format | Short posts with a headline and a summary paragraph |
| Mix | News sits alongside reviews, gamer blogs, and podcasts on the same homepage |
The dates matter if you are checking whether a story is current. Because posts are timestamped, you can scan the listing and judge freshness without opening each item.
Where news sits relative to other content
The homepage interleaves several content types, so news is not isolated:
- Reviews — e.g. "Earth Must Die Finds Comedy in Galactic Tyranny," "Star Wars: Zero Company Finds Great Tactics Buried Under Bugs"
- Gamer Blogs — e.g. "Michael Blaker's Video Game Tuesday: Next Gen Delays," "Michael Blaker's Retro Game Friday: Raiden II"
- Podcasts — e.g. "The Podcast on Monopolies, Problems and Solutions"
- News & Industry Happenings — the dated news posts described above
If your interest is specifically industry news, the "News & Industry Happenings" grouping is the relevant filter; the other sections serve different purposes.
Practical notes
- Use the dates to filter. Since posts are dated, treat older entries as historical rather than current.
- Expect game-level news, not business news. The examples center on updates, DLC, Early Access, and remasters. If you need studio financials or market data, this coverage is not aimed at that.
- Check the subscribe link for access terms. The site exposes a Subscribe page at
gameindustry.com/subscribe/. The available material does not state what subscribing includes or costs, so verify terms there before assuming anything about access.
