History and profile

''SKOAR!'' was launched in 2003 as a sister publication to '' Digit'' in order to cater to more hardcore gamers. The tagline of ''SKOAR!'' was "... when it's done". ''SKOAR!s tagline was changed to "India's only gaming magazine" as of 2010 (which may or may not be true as a statement in itself). Publishing of ''SKOAR!'' as a magazine was stopped in 2011, and it was made into a gaming section inside its sister publication ''Digit'' and an occasional supplement in some of Digit's special issues. In 2014 ''SKOAR!'' was relaunched as a digital e-magazine that was given away with every issue of ''Digit'' in the form of a ''SKOAR!'' DVD. The e-magazine was an interactive PDF that was provided on the DVD, which also contains other gaming software such as full games, game demos, videos that are of interest to gamers, wallpapers, and more. ''SKOAR!'' was re-instated as a print supplement with ''Digit'' in November 2014, and continues to this day (as of their April 2015 issue). The ''SKOAR!'' website was relaunched on 4 April 2015, and apart from PC and console gaming, also covers mobile gaming extensively.
