GameFly is rolling out several new tiers and offerings for gaming and movie fans everywhere. From budget-friendly to the works, GameFly’s new plans give gamers access to the entertainment they crave at a range of price points. One important thing will remain the same, however: GameFly’s Standard Subscription will stay at the same price, even as the service’s offerings improve. 

“GameFly is listening to our customers,” says GameFly President Tim Hinsley. “We’re committed to constantly improving our service and offerings to our members. We are especially glad that we are able to do this without having to increase our standard plan price,” something the company has avoided for more than ten years.
 
GameFly is offering more ways to access games and entertainment than ever before. Though still focused on games and gamers, GameFly is expanding its movie/DVD service with new movies-only subscription tiers. The Elite level of movies-only membership gives members access to 4K discs, a much loved format that’s become increasingly hard to rent, as retail rental outlets close. (GameFly is now the only online reservation option for fans of 4K.)

Gamefly’s main focus, as always, remains games and gamers. It has unveiled a new Elite tier for its gaming members, with additional perks, and a Budget tier for the cost-conscious (the Elite and Standard tier game plans also include 4K disc availability). To help members take full advantage of the service’s members-only PS5 and Xbox Series X console sales, GameFly has just launched an email registration page, just for subscribers looking to purchase next generation consoles.

“We’ve been taking multiple steps this year to meet our members’ needs, starting with our GameLock feature, which for the first time, offered members a guaranteed rental,” explains GameFly Marketing Director Joe Slepski. “Secondly, we’ve shouldered more inventory costs on our side, by increasing our inventory on almost all games across the board. This breaks from the traditional rental model going back over 40 years, where 1:1 fulfilment was not possible. Additionally, we’ve added more service levels, giving members even more control on how we fit into their gaming styles.”

About GameFly

GameFly is the leading video game subscription service in the USA, and the only one that offers gamers a way to get almost any new release game disc on Playstation, XBOX and Nintendo consoles, delivered with free shipping to their door, all for one flat monthly fee. Gamefly also services the new and pre-owned game markets, and sells consoles, controllers, accessories and collectibles. Founded in 2001, GameFly is privately held.

When Gamers desperately searched for the new PS5 or Xbox on major retail sites, they were often met with serious disappointment. Bots swept in and snapped up the limited offerings in seconds. These “inventory grabbers” shut out fans who just wanted a new console.

GameFly, the go-to subscription service for console video games, gave its members a real alternative. It offered its members special bundles that included consoles, controllers and games, plus a year’s subscription to GameFly at discounted prices. These PS5 and Xbox drops sold out in under an hour as word spread among excited members; one recent drop created such a buzz, GameFly became a trending US topic on Twitter.

“We’re looking out for our members, who love games as much as we do,” says Joe Slepski, Gamefly’s marketing director. “We want to reward our members by giving them access to the next-gen consoles.  We’re planning to continue this, as we get more consoles from manufacturers.”

These console drops are just one part of GameFly’s recent transformation. GameFly has revamped its online store and other aspects of the venerable game subscription’s business.  In addition to offering a wide selection of used games, GameFly is now offering new games, gaming accessories, and collectables from brands like FUNKO, ReAction, and Kotobukiya.  In the coming months, GameFly will be expanding its subscription plans so that more gamers can find a plan that works best for them.  For now, members can rest easy that if GameFly secures consoles from the manufacturers, they will continue giving members exclusive access.

“GameFly is committed to the gamers who want to access the things that make them happy,” says GameFly President Tim Hinsley. “These console drops are proof of our commitment to our members.”

GameFly is announcing its new online store. Open to all, the new GameFly store will offer new consoles, controllers, games, and limited-edition collectibles, in addition to the service’s selection of used games. GameFly members will be able to access additional exclusive offers, such as in-demand consoles like the new PS5 and Xbox Series X and games at highly competitive prices.

“We’ve been working very hard in the last several months to upgrade what we provide for subscribers,” says Tim Hinsley, GameFly president. “We’ve rolled out our new store, as we know the frustration of hunting down a new console or a popular game. We’re trying to make it ridiculously easy for GameFly members to get all their gaming needs in one place.” 

GameFly members will get first access to a wide range of games, hardware, and cool Funko collectables. One recent example: GameFly secured a number of PS5s for members--and they sold out of their inventory in an hour. More cool deals and bundles are coming up, as the holiday shopping season approaches. 

Though the new store points to the changes underway at the long-standing gaming service, one thing is staying the same: GameFly’s subscription price. GameFly’s core membership rates have stayed the same for 10 years. In a time of rapidly rising rates for entertainment and other subscriptions, on top of general fatigue, “that’s one thing we don’t want to change,” Hinsley explains. “We’ve held the line on price, even as we’ve expanded our offerings, both in game rentals and in our store.”

GameFly, the subscription service that lets game fans rent, play, and buy games, is unveiling its latest feature. GameLock lets subscribers “lock in” a hot upcoming title, allowing them to know that the game they crave will be on its way come street date.
 
“For the first time in history, we’re giving GameFly subscribers the ability to get your game and lock it in,” explains GameFly President Tim Hinsley. “You get access to the new release you want, period.”
 
GameLock gives GameFly subscribers an easy way to track down in-demand games. If you’re eagerly awaiting a new release like Cyberpunk, for example, your only choice before GameLock was to wait until release day, then buy it online or track it down at a local brick-and-mortar store (and hope you can snag a copy). Via GameFly, all you have to do is click the GameLock button next to your favorite new game and you’re locked in, guaranteeing you’ll get a copy once it’s out.
 
GameFly developed this handy upgrade thanks to customer demand, as fans desperately wanted to get their hands on their desired new game. “GameLock is a direct reaction to our member’s feedback,” Hinsley says. “We are ecstatic that we can provide this kind of service for the first time in our history.”
 
GameLock is one of several significant improvements to GameFly’s service that the company plans to offer subscribers in the months to come.

Ownership behind Alliance Entertainment buys GameFly; Games inventory to see major boost, along with new product and service rollouts
 
The ownership group behind Alliance Entertainment, the world leader in music, movie, video game, and consumer products distribution, has purchased GameFly, the powerhouse in video game disc rentals. This new partnership will allow GameFly to provide customers with an expanded catalogue of gaming products for sale, as well as new enhancements to GameFly’s game subscription service and a large expansion of new and catalog games available to rent.
 
“We’re intensely focused on listening to what our customers are telling us, and then finding ways to give them what they are asking for” said Jeff Walker, Co-owner and CEO of both Alliance Entertainment and GameFly.  “Alliance is the largest distributor of physical media in the US, and we’re using our expertise with GameFly’s nearly 20 years of experience in subscription game rentals to imagine new offerings that previously were not doable.” GameFly will continue to operate independently from Alliance, yet will benefit from its extensive infrastructure.
 
New Products and New Enhancements to Game Rentals  
GameFly users are now able to purchase new games, movies, game controllers and headsets, consoles and pop culture collectibles from Funko and other brands via GameFly.  
 
GameFly’s well-known console game rental service, still going strong after nearly twenty years, will soon be getting some upgrades of its own, according to Tim Hinsley, President of GameFly: “A wider catalog of gamer-centric products is just the beginning of the increase in value we want to bring GameFly customers. Over the coming months, we’re going to be making some big announcements about fresh changes to our subscriptions that we think will make console gamers very happy.  We can’t wait to show them what we’ve been working on.”
 
GameFly Offers Unique Value In the Console Gaming Market
GameFly is the leading video game subscription service in the US, the only one that offers gamers a way to get a new release game disc on PS4, XBOX One, Nintendo Switch and more, shipped for free to their door, for one flat monthly fee.  
 
“There are more online and streaming subscription options today than ever, but their game selection is quite limited - We’re still the only service that lets you get any brand new game disc on any major console for as little as 54 cents a day,” says Chris Anderson, VP of Product at GameFly. “With the top new games available on release day, a back catalog of over 8,000 games, and the option to keep your game at some of the lowest prices anywhere, GameFly helps gamers stretch their gaming dollars farther.”
