Future holds a unique position in the global games media market, combining strong partnerships with console manufacturers and a unique cross-media approach. We are the only games media owner with reach across print, online, covermounted discs, on-console editions and events.
Every month, we attract more than nine million visitors to our games websites. The average time spent on gamesradar.com is over six minutes – more than three times that of gamespot.com – demonstrating the strength of engagement with this global brand. UK news site CVG.co.uk has grown its monthly visitors to more than two million. In 2010 we launched PCgamer.com, bringing more than 15 years of PC authority online, catering for dedicated PC gamers across the world.
In all three of our core territories (UK, US and Australia), Future publishes official or unofficial titles for Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo and licenses these titles into further territories. We are leveraging these unrivalled partnerships in games beyond print and web by providing truly creative thinking.
We introduced the industry’s first ever on-console digital editions, monthly Qore and weekly FirstPlay, both available via Sony’s PlayStation 3 console, and in 2010 we launched Nintendo TV. Future also partners with Blizzard Entertainment to produce World of Warcraft: The Magazine, a subscription-only title targeting 11.5 million paying subscribers of the world’s biggest Massive Multiplayer Online game.
Our annual Golden Joystick Awards event – “The Oscars of Gaming” – attracted more than 1.5 million online votes in 2010.
