GamesMaster Presents

 Series
Identifier: MAG-GAMESMASTER

Scope and Contents

This is a partial collection of GamesMaster Presents, organized by topic. Each series of GamesMaster Presents had its own numbering system. However, the entire run of GM Presents was also numbered sequentially. This running series number was only printed on a handful of issues, so the total number of issues (and which issue numbers go with which series) is unclear.

This collection also includes two issues of GamesRadar+ Presents, also published by Future and covering nearly identical topics in the same format. GR+ Presents is a separate publication, but it has been cataloged with GamesMaster Presents due to their similarities.

Abstract

GamesMaster Presents (also referred to as GM Presents) was a spinoff of GamesMaster magazine focusing on special topical coverage. Each issue usually focused on a specific game or franchise, with a particular focus on live-service games. The series appears to have started in 2011 and run until 2018, when Future canceled its parent magazine along with the magazine gamesTM.

Like several magazines published by Future in the mid-to-late 2010s, GM Presents was published in the United Kingdom but also distributed in the United States.
