'''''GamePro''''' was an American multiplatform [[video game magazine]] media company that published online and print content covering the [[video game industry]], [[video game hardware]] and [[video game software]].  The magazine featured content on various [[video game console]]s, [[personal computer]]s and [[mobile device]]s. GamePro Media properties included ''GamePro'' magazine and their website. The company was also a part subsidiary of the privately held [[International Data Group]] (IDG), a media, events and research technology group. The magazine and its parent publication printing the magazine went defunct in 2011, but is outlasted by Gamepro.com.

Originally published in 1989, ''GamePro'' magazine provided feature articles, news, previews and reviews on various video games, video game hardware and the entertainment video game industry. The magazine was published monthly (most recently from its headquarters in [[Oakland, California]]) with October 2011 being its last issue, after over 22 years of publication. GamePro's February 2010 issue introduced a redesigned layout and a new editorial direction focused on the people and culture of its gaming.<ref name="gpmedia">{{cite web | url=http://www.gamepromedia.com/press-releases/view/182 |archive-date=2011-07-28 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728084611/http://www.gamepromedia.com/press-releases/view/182 | title= Gamepro Media Redesigns Print and Online Editions to Enthusiastic Response | url-status=usurped | access-date=2010-02-11}}</ref> Despite the shutdown of U.S. operations, the magazine continues to operate internationally in France, Germany, and Spain.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hardawar |first1=Devindra |title=So long childhood: GamePro magazine has been shut down |url=https://venturebeat.com/games/gamepro-shut-down/ |access-date=July 10, 2023 |work=[[VentureBeat]] |date=November 30, 2011}}</ref>
