35 Years Of Game Informer Covers
Across 380 issues, we’ve been honored to showcase many of the most influential and celebrated titles in video game history on the covers of Game Informer magazine
To mark this 35th anniversary, we reached out to staffers past and present, as well as many of the game makers we’ve spoken with over the years to create those covers, gathering quotes and stories about the magazine, the games, and the people who helped define that history.
Sonic the Hedgehog Fall 1991

Sonic appearing on the cover of Game Informer’s very first issue is a special part of both of our histories. At the time, Sonic was beginning his journey, and Game Informer was establishing itself as a trusted voice in gaming. More than three decades later, our continued connection reflects the enduring impact of both Sonic the Hedgehog and Game Informer, as well as the passion of the fans who have supported both of our endeavors along the way.
