On GamesRadar+ we always aim to inform, entertain, and inspire through our mix of news, reviews, features, tips, buying guides, and videos.

We are a celebratory site that reminds readers that games and entertainment are a force for good and for bringing people together. We’re that voice of your pal bringing you cool tidbits of game trivia, awesome secrets to find, hidden gems, behind-the-scenes details, and more as we guide you to the best things to be watching, playing, and reading.

What you’ll be doing…

As Features Editor, you’ll work closely with the Global Editor-in-Chief to deliver high-quality video games coverage that seeks to bring our readers closer to the games they love to play and the communities that they want to be a part of.
