Inside IGN’s Secret Vault: 30 Years of Gaming History - IGN30

Author: IGN January 29, 2026 Duration: 0:00
IGN is turning 30! As part of the celebrations we're opening up the secret vault where we store all the consoles, games, accessories, and paraphernalia we've collected over the years. IGN Entertainment co-founder Peer Schneider and longtime host Daemon Hatfield are digging through years of well-loved consoles, dev kits, unfinished instruction manuals, rare controllers, game prototypes, and so much more.'For more on IGN30, see a note From Peer about the past and our new editorial lead, Justin Davis on what lies ahead.

For a direct line to the chaos and camaraderie of video game journalism, tune into IGN.com-Game Scoop! TV (Video). This isn't a scripted recap; it's a window into the real, often messy process where news breaks and controllers get thrown. You'll hear the unfiltered reactions, heated debates, and genuine laughter of the editors as they dissect the week's biggest headlines, from surprise announcements to industry-shaking controversies. The podcast captures the spontaneous energy of a team deeply embedded in gaming culture, offering analysis that's as informed as it is impassioned. It’s about the people behind the bylines, their inside perspectives, and the occasional hardware casualty that happens when enthusiasm collides with critique. Listen for the sense of being in the room where it happens, where the conversation is as unpredictable as the games they cover. This is where professional insight meets unprofessional fun, all centered on the relentless, fast-paced world of video games.
