The previously IGN-owned digital distribution hub Direct2Drive exchanged hands last May, moving control over to GameFly. In an email sent to customers today, GameFly announced that it will begin to transition all services over to its platform beginning next year.

The switch looks to be seamless. “We’ll take care of everything for you – transferring your account and purchase history to GameFly so you can pick up right where you left off (you’ll just need to reset your password for security). If you already have a GameFly account, we’ll combine the two,” reads the email.

Beyond that, it’s mentioned that non-game files such as Prima Guides will not be available on GameFly’s service, so existing D2D customers are urged to download those as soon as possible.

The new service aims to compete with Steam, offering full digital downloads combined with an ‘Unlimited PC Play’ feature that gives members unrestricted access to hundreds of titles for $15.95 a month. As it stands, the selection isn’t anything to write home about — but it is expected to grow in the near future.
