The 100th issue of 110% Gaming will be on shelves from today (August 17th). The monthly magazine was launched on October 15, 2014 and has since sold over two million copies worldwide, says the publisher.
To mark the occasion, the publisher continued, the 100th issue will come packaged in a Special Edition card box containing 12 gamer goodies inside and will count down the top 100 gaming legends of all time, as chosen by the 110% Gaming team.
Sarah-Jane Crawford, content editor of 110% Gaming, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have reached this milestone. Our goal has always been to provide a magazine that children find fun, informative and up-to-the-minute.
“We’re always striving to celebrate and promote the positivity of children’s gaming, especially in terms of supporting imaginative development, positive mental health, storytelling, and creativity.
“This is especially important, considering the difficult time children and families have endured in recent years. Knowing that kids are finding such enjoyment in 110% Gaming makes us very thankful.
“The fact that a print edition of a digital medium has done so well might sound surprising, but feedback from our readers shows that they love having the mag open to refer whilst playing their games, which makes so much sense!”
Gareth Whelan, head of children’s publishing, said: “As someone who launched this title as editor back in 2014, I’m delighted that it continues to appeal to kids and their parents in the UK and beyond.
“Gaming has continued to grow in popularity since the launch and the magazine has evolved its content over the years to reflect the rising popularity of YouTubers and female gamers as well as the diversification of gaming platforms.
“There remains great potential to grow the brand further and I look forward to seeing how that growth develops as we move forward.”
