Jeuxvideo.com is the most popular French-speaking video game news site.^{[citation needed]} The site's attendance record dates from E3 2013, on June 11, 2013, with a peak of 33 million visits to its pages.^{[citation needed]}

The website traces its history to a video game hint collection on Minitel, a precursor to the World Wide Web, and was founded by Sébastien Pissavy while on military service in 1995. As his work became more popular, he moved it to a website, Jeuxvideo.com, in 1997. Gameloft purchased an 80% share of the site in 2000, though Pissavy ran it independently until his departure in 2012.^[1] HiMedia purchased the site in 2006 and sold it in 2014 to Webedia for 90 million euros.^[2] Webedia subsequently moved the offices to Paris, causing several staff members to leave.^[3] In August 2015, the site was hacked; administrators said no private information was leaked but still advised users to change their passwords.^[4]
