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.
