The founders made clear that the company was not meant to replace Game Informer, since MinnMax does not offer a magazine or any written features, such as scored game reviews.

In an attempt to fulfill the "getting better" part of their mission statement, Ben Hanson produced a monthly podcast BetterQuest with co-host Jeff Cork. Each month the two set goals for themselves and community members called in to discuss their own monthly goals, with the hope that discussing the goals publicly would keep everyone accountable and motivated to achieve those goals. The show ended on (date), with community members being encouraged to write their goals in to The MinnMax Show instead.

On (date), MinnMax launched its only show to receive a dedicated podcast feed separate from other MinnMax content, MinnTrax (later known as CrossFade). The show was hosted by Matt Helgeson, another former host of the Game Informer show, and featured himself and a guest discussing two albums, one chosen by each. On (date), the show was put on indefinite hiatus.

Over the years, MinnMax has experimented with many different show formats, including shows hosted by staff other than Ben Hanson, such as Watch Later with Leo Vader, and Ana Diaz's Refreshed. The shows have had varying success and longevity, and eventually the weekly livestream New Show Plus became MinnMax's primary method for experimentation and highlighting its various creators. The staff of MinnMax choose four options for the format of the show each week and Patreon members vote on the options. Each week the format of the previous week's show is always included as an option.
