NEW YORK - eTradeWire -- 120,000+ Historic Gaming Files to Find a New Home

Download.it, the trusted multilingual software download and review platform, today announces the upcoming merger with FilePlanet.com, to be completed on May 29, 2025. Over 120,000 historic FilePlanet gaming files, including rare demos, mods, patches, and promotional materials, will be preserved and remain freely accessible through Download.it's infrastructure.

Originally founded in 1997 and previously operated by IGN Entertainment Inc. (Ziff Davis), FilePlanet served as an essential resource for gamers, modders, and enthusiasts for almost 28 years. Facing permanent closure, FilePlanet was acquired by Download.it to ensure these files, many unavailable elsewhere, could remain accessible to gaming communities around the world.

Download.it, established as a reliable destination for software, apps, and game downloads for Windows, macOS, and Android platforms, has always emphasized free and convenient access without registration barriers or fees. This merger furthers the platform's commitment to digital preservation, combining resources to create one of the largest free download archives online: over 500,000 files totaling nearly 30TB of content.
