FAQs
Is Gamefly legit?
Yes, GameFly is 100% legit. While the service feels a bit old school compared to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, it fills a specific niche that digital subscriptions miss.
Is Gamefly worth it?
That depends on the individual. For most modern gamers, GameFly is only "worth it" in very specific scenarios. While it offers incredible value on paper, the reality of "snail mail" in 2026 may frustrate users who are accustomed to instant digital downloads.
For comparison:
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (~$30/mo): You get instant access, but the library is curated. You won't get brand new Sony exclusives or many third-party blockbusters on Day 1.
GameFly: Price: $19.95/month for unlimited rentals, but only 1 disc at home at a time. You get access to everything, including the newest $70 hits (like GTA VI, Spider-Man, etc.) the week they launch. But mail-time is 5-6 days.
How much is GameFly?
There are two main price points at GameFly:
The Standard 1-Game Plan for $19.95/month which includes unlimited rentals, but only 1 disc at home at a time.
The Standard 2-Game Plan for $27.95/month which comes with the same unlimited rentals but 2 discs at home at a time.
Can you track GameFly shipping?
No. You cannot track a standard GameFly rental disc because they ship via standard USPS First Class Mail to keep costs down so there is no individual tracking number.

How we source coupon codes
All the codes you see on PC Gamer have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team. Using our affiliate networks, partnerships with brands, and the world wide web, we track down the latest and best coupon codes and ways to save on your online orders. Our pages are updated multiple times a week, and our commercial team also uses their connections to negotiate exclusive codes with big name brands, so you can find all the best available codes and promotions listed in one place.
How we test coupon codes
To ensure that every code you see is ready to use, our team tests each one before uploading it to a page. Whether it's for free shipping, a multibuy offer, a student discount, or savings in the sales, we check that the code can be applied at the checkout and works as described. We don’t include any one-time or user-specific codes, so you haven’t got to worry about anyone else beating you to the punch, and you’ll find codes for products across all kinds of categories.
We also include all the information about a coupon, such as terms and conditions and the expiry date, on the page below the offer description. Simply click ‘Terms & Conditions’ and you’ll expand the code box, where you’ll be able to read any specific instructions or requirements associated with your chosen coupon. We do our best to update this information whenever any changes are made, with each page checked at least twice a week.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Despite our best efforts, sometimes coupons won’t work as expected. Expiry dates and terms and conditions can be changed by the retailer, or the code may simply no longer be accepted. Should you run into any issues, don’t worry - our customer service team is available to offer support.
The first port of call should always be to check the coupon’s terms and conditions to make sure you meet all requirements. Codes may be product-specific (i.e. 5% off gaming laptops), require a minimum order value (i.e. when you spend $50 or more), or need you to verify your status (i.e. verify with a valid military email address). Click the ‘terms & conditions’ text below the ‘Get Code’ button to view all available information.
If you’re still having issues once you’ve confirmed that you meet the necessary requirements, you can get in touch with our team by sending an email to coupons.pcgamer@futurenet.com. Include a summary of which code you tried to use, where you found it, and what went wrong, and we’ll reply as soon as we can to help out.
How we make money
PC Gamer earns money from its coupon pages through a commission model. We have deals in place with every retailer that has a corresponding coupon page on our site. When you shop with one of these retailers and use one of our codes to get a discount, the brand will pay us a percentage of the final order total in commission.
Using this model means that redeeming a discount through PC Gamer never costs you a thing. We don’t charge any fees to apply a code, and all our money is made directly from retailers, not our audience. You’ll only ever pay for the products or services you buy, with lower prices just as they’re described on the page.
