It was recently announced that Computerandvideogames.com, the homesite for the long-running CVG brand is due to close.

The announcement came from publisher Future, and is part of a general concentration of Future’s content into fewer locations. Some of CVG’s content will be added to the new location GamesRadar+ before the entire CVG audience is ‘folded’ into the site, along with the audiences of Edge, Official Playstation and Total Xbox. They will join the other publications that already have their home on GamesRadar+, Total Films and SFX.

Computer and Video Games began life in 1981 as a physical magazine before transferring online as the Internet gained momentum. Future have said that the new GamesRadar+ is hiring, but CVG’s former editor has said that so far none of the existing staff of the CVG site are due to make the leap over to working for GamesRadar+.

Obviously we wish those affected by the closure the best.
