As of June 2013, "GameFan's" web presence had been in a mostly inactive state for about a year. Issue 9 was finally made available in February 2013 after missing their holiday 2012 release. This issue was only worked on by two people, Dave Halverson and Greg Orlando. Issues 8 and 9 were only available in a digital format. "GameFan" would later go on a two-year hiatus, returning in 2015 with a rebooted, redesigned magazine and website. In February 2015, "GameFan" simultaneously released issue 10 digitally and in newsstands. The digital version was released gratis on "Magzter" with the use of a promotional code. The magazine went through a complete overhaul, simplifying its layouts and design, most likely in order to have the magazines completed on schedule. The size of the print magazine is significantly smaller compared to previous issues. In addition to that, they also redesigned their logo and their mascot, "Monitaur".
