In 2012, Enterbrain announced that ファミ通 rar would be transitioning to a digital-only format. However, due to low readership and financial difficulties, the magazine ceased publication in 2013. The final issue was released in March 2013.

ファミ通 rar, also known as Famitsu RAR, is a Japanese video game magazine that was published by Enterbrain, a subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation. The magazine was a spin-off of the popular Japanese video game magazine Famitsu, which is published by Kadokawa Games.

Although ファミ通 rar is no longer in publication, its legacy lives on. The magazine helped launch the careers of several well-known game journalists and industry professionals in Japan. Additionally, ファミ通 rar's focus on emerging trends and new talent influenced the direction of the Japanese gaming industry.
