In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we tackle 2025's biggest week yet. Not only did the Switch 2 launch and Summer Game Fest happen on the same week, but we relaunched our Game Informer magazine subscriptions, and can confirm our first issue will be out later this month! Hosts Alex Van Aken, Charles Harte, and Marcus Stewart also discuss their favorite games they played at Summer Game Fest (including Resident Evil Requiem, Ninja Gaiden 4, Pragmata, and Mixtape), and their hands-on impressions with Xbox's new handheld device.

The trio is also thrilled to be joined by Rogersbase to discuss the Switch 2 launch, including his thoughts on the console, his favorite parts of Mario Kart World, his theories for Nintendo's 2025 plans, and his passion for Donkey Kong. Thanks for joining us, Roger! You can find him on YouTube and Twitch.

Every Thursday, the conversation starts up again with Alex Van Aken, Kyle Hilliard, Marcus Stewart, and Charles Harte. The Game Informer Show is where that weekly chat lives, a place to dig into the headlines, dissect new releases, and sometimes get a first look at what's coming next. It feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair with friends who happen to have their fingers on the pulse of the entire video game world. You'll hear their honest reactions to the week's biggest news, thoughtful reviews that go beyond a simple score, and discussions that can jump from a beloved classic to a hot new indie title in a single segment. The regular crew is often joined by other editors from Game Informer's staff, as well as developers and special guests who bring unique insider perspectives. Tuning into this podcast means getting a comprehensive, entertaining, and deeply informed take on the games you're playing now and the ones you'll be excited about tomorrow. It's a consistent weekly check-in for anyone who wants to stay connected to the broader culture and business of gaming, all delivered with a blend of expertise and genuine enthusiasm that makes the industry feel a little smaller and a lot more interesting.
