MCV is a United Kingdom-based trade magazine which focuses on business aspects of the video game industry, including game retailing. It is published every Friday and is available freely online or via print subscription.^[2] It is not available in shops.

MCV and Japanese video game magazine Famitsu have an exclusive partnership which sees news and content from each magazine appear in the other.^[3] Its sister magazine, aimed more directly at developers, is Develop.

Format

Printed issues tend to run to around 100 pages, which consist of:

• News and features covering games industry and retailing
• Special reports
• The "Retail Biz" section, which produces retailer reviews (as opposed to consumer reviews) of games, lists release dates, and analyses prices and market movements both in the UK and internationally.
• Classifieds
• Full-page adverts (there are very few inline ads)

Unusually for a gaming publication, MCV's print editions sport traditional, newspaper-like page design.
