Why trust us?

GamesRadar+ takes pride that our reviews and best lists are independent and free from any commercial considerations. We never take money for reviews or for placements in our best lists and buying guides.

Our team will sometimes take trips and other hospitality to attend shows or see products. That doesn't affect how we think or write about those products or games, but it does affect whether we can cover certain products or events, particularly when otherwise we would not have had that coverage opportunity.

The majority of review products are sent to us by the companies involved, and the majority are a direct result of a review request. We only review products that we have selected ourselves and that are worth reviewing. We always return products on request or at the end of our agreed loan period.

You can read more aboutour approach to reviewing and scoringin our guide, which includes what our scores mean.

Affiliate & Advertising disclosure

We always aim to provide unbiased editorial created by our journalists and writers. We also need to pay our teams and website costs so we make money in a number of ways. We sometimes use affiliate links to products and services on retailer sites for which we can receive compensation if you click on those links or make purchases through them. From time to time we also publish advertorials (paid-for editorial content) and sponsored content on the site. When this is the case the content is clearly marked as sponsored or promoted, so you’ll always know which content is editorial and which is not. Future PLC is our parent company and has an in-depth terms and conditions page with a lot more information that you can readright here.

Content Funding on GamesRadar+

We are committed to helping you find the best products and services for your needs and connecting you with trustworthy retailers where you can purchase them at competitive prices. Within our editorial content, we often provide links to products and services on retailer sites for which we can receive compensation – called an affiliate fee – if you click on those links or make purchases through them. That affiliate fee is paid to us by the retailer and does not directly affect the price you pay for the product or service.

Our expert editorial teams are independent. This means the products and services they select to appear in our articles are chosen based on their unbiased, expert judgement and relevance to the readers' needs and article content. While our editors may be informed by commercial insights to understand the market, our goal is always to provide independent, objective, valuable and useful advice to our readers.

Our curated product widgets that you see in some of our articles are intended to help you find the best products and services, at competitive prices, at trusted retailers. Those widgets are powered by our own software, called Hawk, which displays the latest product and price information from thousands of retailers. We will always do our best to ensure that we display the most up-to-date information possible. On occasion, a retailer may have updated their prices, up or down, before the adverts displayed by Hawk are updated. Retailers may also add delivery or other costs to the purchase – please see the retailer's site for more information. The affiliate fees we receive help us to continue developing Hawk as well as helping to pay our teams and other website costs.

We also run advertising in various forms. Ads on our websites are designed in a way that makes them clearly identifiable as ads and distinguishable from our editorial articles.

From time to time, we also publish paid-for editorial content on the site. This content is labelled so you can see who has funded it and how it was created. We have a full guide tocontent funding on GamesRadar+ here. You can also see the full terms and conditions that apply to your use of our sitesright here.

GamesRadar+ Team

Sam Loveridge

Brand Director

After realizing fashion journalism definitely wasn't for me while working in Singapore, I wandered back into my safe zone of tech journalism before landing a gig writing about my one true love: video games. I've worked at TrustedReviews, Digital Spy, Fandom, and dabbled with bouts of freelance prior to GR+, but my GamesRadar+ family finally feels like home. Particularly because they realize that my Pokemon obsession is a pro, not a con. Or at least that's what they tell me anyway. So now I'm the lady in charge of GamesRadar, but also getting all the reviews up on the website, so you can thank me for all those shining stars – or blame me for a lack of them. I also spend my time working my SEO magic to try and coax the Google Juice to flow in our favor.

Rollin Bishop

US Managing Editor

My first job in this industry was managing the official unofficial Kingdom of Loathing fansite in 2006, and it’s all been downhill since then. Jokes aside, that position segued into freelancing for the likes of IGN, GameSpy, Motherboard, and many like them. Over the years, my beats grew more eclectic into anime, internet culture, comics, and much more, culminating prior to my current role in a position at ComicBook.com as Gaming Editor while still contributing across the site’s many verticals. As the US Managing Editor at GamesRadar+, I help keep the wheels turning during US hours.

News

Ali Jones

Managing Editor, News

After a few years writing for my university newspaper and with a shiny new gaming PC on my desk, my games writing career kicked off when I joined PCGamesN in the summer of 2017. Over the following two years, I wrote more about League of Legends than anyone outside Riot (or at least that's how it felt), and spent an extremely jet-lagged weekend in Seattle for Valve's reveal of Artifact. That was a more impressive anecdote in 2018 than it is now, but I did get to meet Gabe Newell. In 2019, I left PCGN to become Kotaku UK's news editor, from where I eventually joined Gamesradar in 2020. As News Editor, I'm running our gaming news output, working with my team to find the most interesting stories out there, all while working on my master plan - turning GR+ into a site where I can write all the League of Legends articles I want.

Iain Harris

News Editor, Games

After fetching masters degrees in journalism and history, I spent a few years freelancing for local newspapers and gaming outlets like Kotaku UK, RockPaperShotgun, and VG24/7 before popping up at PCGamesN. I worked my way up to the role of Acting News Editor while shaping the website’s news output and reporting on all the weird and wonderful shenanigans that communities get up to. That’s not too different to what I do here at GamesRadar+, except I have the remit to tell you that Growlithe is absolutely the best Pokemon. When not bottom fragging in Valorant, you’ll find me tootling through Final Fantasy 14 looking for Eorzea’s hottest new fashion trend.

Catherine Lewis

Deputy News Editor, Games

Ever since I laid my hands on Pokemon Pearl and discovered the joy of collecting cute and quirky virtual creatures, I've been unable to stop talking about video games. Many years later, whilst earning my journalism degree and filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with all of the indie game content I could, I realised that writing about games wasn't just fantastic fun, but also something that I could do for arealjob. What a revelation! Flash forward a few years, and I've been a GAMINGbible journalist, TechRadar Gaming's news writer, and now I reside at GamesRadar+ where I work with the rest of the news team to produce cool gaming stories. I adore a good story-driven RPG (Xenoblade Chronicles is my all-time favorite), and I've never grown out of my all-consuming love of Pokemon, nor will I ever.

Austin Wood

Senior Writer

I worked as a freelance games journalist for six years before wearily staggering into the house of GamesRadar+, where I was welcomed with open arms and a frankly alarming amount of dog GIFs. This means my soul is measured in content, and also that you may have seen me around. I've written for PC Gamer, Eurogamer, IGN, RockPaperShotgun, Sports Illustrated, and plenty of others over the years. I also received a journalism degree at some point and they haven't asked for it back, so here I am, writing the best bad similes of my career. On GamesRadar, I write about the day-to-day goings-on of the games industry. I spend most of my time picking out the important bits from the never-ending flood of trailers and announcements, but I also find some of my favorite stories in creative communities and weird rabbit holes.

Ashley Bardhan

Senior Writer

Ashley Bardhan is a Senior Writer at GamesRadar+. She's been a staff writer at Kotaku and Inverse, too, and she's written freelance pieces about horror and women in games for sites like Rolling Stone, Vulture, IGN, and Polygon. When she's not covering gaming news, she's usually working on expanding her doll collection while watching Saw movies one through 11.

Anna Koselke

News Writer

From the moment I took my first steps within Kokiri Forest to the fateful day I loaded into Skyrim as an angsty tween, so many of my most memorable moments relate to gaming somehow. When I wasn't traversing fantastical realms in video games, I was reading about them instead or world-building myself. I eventually went off to study literature at The University of Edinburgh, completing my postgraduate studies in medieval history afterwards. With two nerdy degrees under my belt, a penchant for writing, and way too many hours in games, I chose to work as a journalist while doing my own narrative design on the side. I wrote for Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and many other sites before settling here at GamesRadar+ where I now get to profess my undying love for Baldur's Gate 3 (professionally, of course). If I'm not romancing Astarion for the hundredth time, I'm probably feeding my Tamagotchis or am deeply invested in a cozy game.

Dustin Bailey

Staff Writer

After discovering that rural Missouri didn't offer the most lucrative job market for a recently-graduated English major, I did the only reasonable thing I could think of: I started writing about video games on the internet. After years of freelancing, including a stint running Anime News Network's weekly gaming column, I became a News Writer at PCGamesN, and spent nearly a half-decade covering major industry stories, community goofs, and updates on major games. Now I'm doing the same at GamesRadar+, at least partly because I got tired of pretending not to care about the latest Nintendo Direct.

Jordan Gerblick

Staff Writer

After defiantly earning an English degree against my parents' protests, I climbed the corporate ladder for a while in dreadful copywriting roles while silently deliberating how to admit I'd messed up. But eventually, exhausted from 60-hour workweeks writing financial documentation and freelancing over the weekends, GamesRadar rescued me from my cameo role in the real-life Office by giving me the dream job I have now. I used to run a pizza blog, I co-designed a once-active Ultima Online shard when I was 12, and I spend every work night in the company of a turtle named Myrtle (he's actually a Russian tortoise but the rhyme doesn't really work with that) and a mini jaguar named Milo. At GamesRadar, I tell you what's happening in video games, and occasionally, what I think about video games. My favorite part of the job is uncovering and shining a light on underappreciated indie projects.

Features

Andrew Brown

Features Editor

Andy Brown is the Features Editor of Gamesradar+, and joined the site in June 2024. Before arriving here, Andy earned a degree in Journalism and wrote about games and music at NME, all while trying (and failing) to hide a crippling obsession with strategy games. When he's not bossing soldiers around in Total War, Andy can usually be found cleaning up after his chaotic husky Teemo, lost in a massive RPG, or diving into the latest soulslike – and writing about it for your amusement.

Oscar Taylor-Kent

Games Editor

Oscar Taylor-Kent joined GamesRadar+ in 2024 as its Games Editor, bringing his Official PlayStation Magazine and PLAY knowledge to continue to revel in all things capital 'G' games. A noted PS Vita apologist, he's always got his fingers on many buttons, having also written for Edge, PC Gamer, SFX, Official Xbox Magazine, Kotaku, Waypoint, GamesMaster, and PCGamesN to name a few. When not knee deep in character action games, he loves to get lost in an epic story across RPGs and visual novels. Recent favourites? Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, 1000xResist, and Metaphor: ReFantazio! Rarely focused entirely on the new, the call to return to retro is constant, whether that's a quick evening speed through Sonic 3 & Knuckles or yet another Jakathon through Naughty Dog's PS2 masterpieces.

Emma-Jane Betts

Managing Editor, Evergreens

After reviewing films throughout University and being a cosy game expert for years, I realised that entertainment journalism was my true calling in 2019. Since then, I've started multiple new farms on Stardew Valley and have written for several publications such as The Upcoming, PCGamesN, and Wargamer. I was the resident Guides Editor and horror lover for The Digital Fix before joining the GamesRadar+ team in 2024. As the Managing Editor for Evergreens, I'll be making sure that all the best lists you read on GamesRadar+ are the most helpful and fun pages on the internet!

Heather Wald

Evergreen Editor, Games

While I was still trying to cut my teeth in the journalism world, I worked at Game before ditching retail to do an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University. I then landed a job as the content editor for Stuff Magazine writing about all things game and tech related. Eventually I fell into the world of freelancing, and after contributing to Gamesradar+ for a few months, I somehow bagged myself my dream job. Now I get to do what I truly love alongside a talented team of writers full time. Yeah, I can’t believe it either! On GamesRadar, I'm part of the Features team, looking for interesting goings on in the gaming community, and help out with all sorts of bits and bobs for the site.

Jasmine Gould-Wilson

Senior Staff Writer

Raised in Hong Kong and having graduated with an English Literature degree from Queen Mary, University of London, Jasmine's passion for entertainment writing has taken her from blogging about horror movies and browser games to joining GamesRadar+ as a Staff Writer. She made the career jump from TV broadcast operations to video games journalism during the pandemic, cutting her teeth as a freelance writer for global publications such as TheGamer, Gamezo, and TechRadar Gaming before joining Future's in-house team. Whether she's researching the latest buzzworthy legal battles for a news piece or writing comprehensive Sims 4 guides, you will probably find her listening to metalcore at the same time.

Ben Wilson

Sports Editor

I've been writing about sports and games – and therefore sports games – for 20 years since a post-Uni stint at Nickelodeon, and can lay claim to being the longest serving editor in Official PlayStation Magazine history. I departed OPM Towers in 2014 to become a full-time dad, but am proud to be able to juggle nappy changes and Disney Plus binges with my role as GR+’s roving, raving man-o’ -sports. I also write football and wrestling words for FourFourTwo, The Guardian, and Talksport. Anything and everything related to football (UK and US), hockey, baseball and wrestling. I've also been known to dabble in writing about movies, and am always free to ramble on about the brilliance of Black Panther.

Guides

Leon Hurley

Managing Editor, Guides

After mixed career path of scientist, teacher and musician I ended up landing a job on Official PlayStation 2 Magazine. After working my way up the ranks there and eventually running the website, I helped launch and run Kotaku UK before joining GamesRadar+ to do news and tea. Now, I coordinate all the guides content on GR (there's a clue in the name). I work with writers to decide what to tip and what not to tip based on what I think people are going to want to know, and some numbers stuff. I then organize all the guides, video capture, scripts and so on for a game and, God willing, get it up for release.

Iain Wilson

Guides Editor

I joined Future in 2012 to write tips and guides for CVG, before moving on to join the GR+ team. I’m known to many as ‘Mr Trophy’ due to my slightly unhealthy obsession with collecting intangible PlayStation silverware, and I now have around 200 Platinum pots weighing down the shelves in my virtual award cabinet. I do not care for Xbox Achievements. I help look after the guides on GamesRadar+, so spend most of my time either searching gaming’s darkened corners for those final elusive collectibles, or coming up with tips and advice to help you git gud.
