About GamingScan

GamingScan is an online gaming news publisher. Our main channels include this website (1M+ monthly unique visitors) and our YouTube channel (1M+ monthly views).

We believe there has to be an easier way to find the information that you’re looking for online without reading tons of unnecessary text or bloated videos that won’t get to the point right away. We strive to make it fun and accessible to everyone – including building your own PC.

With all the excess information out there about computers, hardware, and gaming, how exactly do you find what you’re looking for right away? That’s where we come in.

We cover events with original reporting, write news about upcoming games, create buying guides based on tons of research, review products and games, and much, much more.

Our main goal is to simply explain advanced topics as simply as possible so that everyone finds what they’re looking for right away, though we do cover each topic in detail as well.

The team behind GamingScan are proud gamers themselves as well. We even have technical computer nerds on the team. We’re here to help you and other visitors or viewers.

As of June 2019, GamingScan has been acquired by Flexter. The existing staff continues to operate as usual and is now part of a larger team that also helps users at DisplayNinja and GPU Mag. Prior to GamingScan, Flexter ApS had acquired PS4 Daily, a large gaming magazine exclusively for Sony’s PlayStation 4 console. After the acquisition of GamingScan, the team & content of PS4 Daily was shifted toward GamingScan.

Our Founding

Founded in the middle of 2017 by Samuel Stewart and his associate, GamingScan quickly began to grow and the number of our fans on social media increased dramatically. We listened to what our fans had to say via e-mails sent us and comments on our posts and social media.

After almost two years of growth, we now have over 1 million monthly visitors and the number is constantly growing due to our efforts in making the absolute best content for our readers, and maintaining them for as long as we can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often are your posts updated?

When it comes to hardware and technology, newer products are crucial and most likely the best choice. And when it comes to games, newly released games should also be covered and have a chance to be included if they are worthy.

Therefore we often update our posts to reflect the current market situation. The frequency depends on various factors such as how often new products or games are getting released.

We seldom update reviews, news that is only relevant at a specific time, and other articles that are still completely fine since they were last updated.

Q: Can other companies pay you to review their products?

No. While we can receive and review their products, we will not accept payments to review a product or give their products a higher ranking or score.

Q: Can other companies send you products?

Yes, we happily accept products from other companies, though not all requests are accepted as we have limited availability and do not have the time to review all products that we are offered.

And of course, our reviews will be unbiased and honest regardless of we get the product sent to us or if we buy it ourselves.

Q: What do you cover?

We’re a news media that mainly covers gaming topics and hardware. We also do original reporting.

Q: How do you earn money?

We have links on this site that are called “affiliate links”. These will not cost you anything extra, it just means that we get a small percentage/commission if you click on these links and buy the product. We also have non-intrusive ads that help us pay for our servers. During our first year, we only showed one single ad but due to increased server costs and other expenses, we had to add a couple more non-intrusive ads.

GamingScan.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon and any other website that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.

Q: How do I support you? I like what you are doing!

Thanks! You can support us by using our affiliate links if you intend to buy something, as it will cost you nothing and is probably the easiest way to support us.

You can also subscribe to our YouTube channel, follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page. That’s it! You can, of course, also share one of our posts on social media, but we don’t expect you to do that.

Q: How can I contact you?

You can contact us by using our contact form. We aim to reach back to you within 48 hours.
