Digital Foundry - the YouTube channel, this website, everything - is only fully viable as a business thanks to the support of our audience via the DF Supporter Program on Patreon. We've just opened up annual membership as an option, meaning one payment per year as opposed to a monthly charge to your credit card. In exchange for fronting up your cash, we're offering a 15 percent discount, meaning you gain access to all of the benefits outlined below for the equivalent of just $4.25 a month (US) or £3.40 of His Majesty's currency if you're based in the UK.
If you're new to the DF Supporter Program, here is an enticing menu of everything we offer. Everything outlined below is on top of a completely ad-free experience on this website in both desktop and mobile presentations. That's a perk delivered to all Supporter tiers.
- DF Supporter Tier
- This gives access to a weekly update written in the wake of our team meeting where we discuss our tasks for the week, along with early access to DF Direct Weekly, the chance to pose your questions for inclusion in the show, Discord access and - of course - high quality video downloads of everything we do.
- Premium Tier
- All the benefits of the Supporter Tier, along with an extra Discord channel plus early access video opportunities.
- Retro Tier
- Of course, Supporter and Premium benefits are all yours, plus you'll get typically very early access to DF Retro episodes (there's an Unreal one to watch right now) along with early access to the DF Retro Super Show. And of course, there's an even more exclusive Discord channel in addition to all of the others.
We're reliably informed by Supporters that if you're already a member and you're looking to move to an annual membership, you'll need to use the "edit payment method" option, not "change membership."
We push hard with the DF Supporter Program because, fundamentally, YouTube alone won't pay the bills. Support is crucial to our existence and opens the door to the development of nice new things like this very website and, of course, the DF Retro Super Show. And we have even more ambitious plans going into 2026. Please do check out the DF Supporter Program on Patreon - it genuinely makes a huge difference!

Rich, what do you prefer? People paying 15% more on a monthly basis, or knowing you have a set amount of money upfront without monthly churn (which I imagine to be fairly low in general)?
This is really good news, I've always preferred to pay annually.
@Someguyperson Same question here. Whichever gets more of my money into DF's hands is what I'm going to choose.
If you don’t cancel, then we receive more money if you pay monthly and don’t take advantage of the 15% annual discount.
That said, we truly appreciate all & any support you give us (and even more so if you upgrade to a higher tier! 😊).
Cheers Rich, I just made the switch to annual - I hope enough users take this up to make forecasting a bit easier!
