It is built as an information tool intended for players by a team of editors and notably offers news, files, video game tests and video presentations.

Jeuxvideo.com is the most popular French-speaking video game news site. The site's attendance record dates from E3 2013, on June 11, 2013, with a peak of 33 million visits to its pages.
It also hosts forums with very high traffic, often portrayed as the most active in France, and which the site administration declares to be the most consulted section of the site in July 2014. During the 2010s, the website is linked to various controversies to its forums “Blabla 15-18 ans” and “Blabla 18-25 ans” on which extremist, fundamentalist comments and calls for harassment were made. In 2017, the forum section stood out due to calls for cyberharassment committed by certain members and targeting feminists following the Harvey Weinstein affair. The Webedia owner group initially reacted by tightening moderation and applying keyword censorship, a measure quickly abandoned because it only partially combated the problem. Finally, the number of salaried moderators is doubled.
