G4 To Become The Esquire Channel
The fate of G4, the TV network formerly devoted to video games, has been up in the air for some time. It has been officially announced that it will become the Esquire Channel next year.
Along with a name change, the channel will also see a switch in focus with plans to target an, “untapped metrosexual viewership,” and, “shift the former gaming network to a destination more in line with the modern male,” which is something that has been discussed for quite some time.
The reformatting has already begun with the announcement of the cancellation of shows like X-Play and Attack of the Show earlier this year.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
