Welcome back to The Game Informer Show! On this episode, Ben Hanson, Leo Vader, Kyle Hilliard, and Andrew Reiner share new, exclusive details on Insomniac's Spider-Man based on their gameplay-filled cover story trip. Then we talk about the latest round of the ongoing rivalry between PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Epic's Fortnite, including PUBG's new "Savage" map. Elise joins the podcast to talk about Minit and also answer a bunch of fun community emails, and we're also joined by Ready Player One's author Ernest Cline to talk about Spielberg and games, then Iron Galaxy's Adam Boyes to discuss Extinction, working at Capcom and Sony, and his career as a whole. It's a big show – tell a friend if you enjoy it!

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.
