In July 2020, to the surprise of well...''everyone'', it was announced that G4 will be revived as a digital-first network, launching in 2021. The revival was teased with the G4 website coming back up (with a game of Pong that was seen in the announcement trailer, bringing everything full circle, wherein if you win, you input your email and eventually got a Free T-Shirt!) and the G4, ''X-Play'', and ''Attack of the Show!'' social media feeds going active once more, and a star-studded reunion special hosted by actor and comedian ''Ron Funches'' (and later featuring an appearance from WWE & TNA wrestler and newest member of the G4 family ''Wrestling/XavierWoods'' aka Austin Creed), followed by a Thanksgiving charity stream of ''Videogame/AmongUs''.

As of 2021, there were more members added to the G4 family namely Ovilee May (noted LCS personality), Froskurinn (well-known LEC personality), Alex 'Goldenboy' Marvez (well-known eSports caster as well as personality in the world of gaming, Kassem 'Kassem G' Gharaibeh (well-known Website/YouTube personality), VTuber CodeMiko, Twitch streamer Gina Darling, WebVideo/TheCompletionist, content creator Will Neff, and internet personality the Black Hokage alongside returning veterans Kevin Pereira and Adam Sessler (hosts of ''Attack of the Show!'' and ''X-Play'' respectively). In addition to that, it was announced in April 2021 that G4 would once again air the classic ''Series/NinjaWarrior'' (along with seasons 35-37 that for the first time for American audiences would be seen) alongside Unbeatable Banzuke and Takeshi's Castle Indonesia. In May of 2021, G4 announced that they'll be premiering a new tabletop RPG-oriented series dubbed ''D&D Live'' which is a live broadcast of TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons. Since the Spring of 2021, G4 is holding a series of Twitch streams dubbed '[=B4G4=]' and later 'G4 Beach House' as a way to provide content ranging from gaming commentary (i.e. X-Play), eSports news, challenges, and bits (i.e. Attack of the Show!) as well as putting up Youtube videos each and every week on their channel.

G4, formerly known as [=G4TV=], was a television network with a focus on [[VideoGames video games]] that shuttered in 2014, then later revived as a brand in 2021. The original network went through some [[TroubledProduction serious growing pains in trying to find an audience and gain ratings and advertisers,]] leading it to be one of cable television's most infamous cases of NetworkDecay.

Comcast removed G4 from '''its own''' cable systems starting in January 2014. Throughout the year, only [=AT&T=] U-Verse, the newly formed Google Fiber, and a few other small cable providers carried the channel to fulfill broadcasting contracts. All those agreements expired by midnight EST on December 31, 2014. The network signed off with a game of ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' ([[BookEnds referencing when G4 launched with all-week]] ''Pong'' games) that slowly shrunk and filled with a grey color, followed by a sound clip of Creator/KevinPereira shouting "I'M AT COMIC-CON!!!" (a possible allusion to G4 dying and going to "nerd heaven") as the dot shut off like an analog TV alongside ''Donkey Kong''[='=]s death bloops from the Atari 2600 and the Game Boy start-up chime. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIaPvsrUG8w You can see G4's symbolic "Game Over" for yourself on YouTube.]] On the other hand, a Canadian version (originally based on [=TechTV=]) was shut down on August 31, 2017, after years of suffering through its own NetworkDecay.

Neal Tiles became G4's network president in 2005. Under his watch, G4 broadened its scope into a more general male-oriented channel in the vein of Creator/SpikeTV, [[NetworkDecay while downplaying its central focus on technology and video games.]] G4 obtained more off-network reruns, ranging from sci-fi/superhero/fantasy dramas to reruns of shows like ''Series/{{Cops}}'' and ''Cheaters'' -- the latter programming resulting in [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks a]] '''[[TheyChangedItNowItSucks huge]]''' [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks backlash]] from the network's [[BrokenBase already splintered fandom]]. On the positive side, this was also the era in which ''Attack of the Show!'' and ''X-Play'' became the network's flagship shows. The former brought on Creator/OliviaMunn as a co-host, who became an geek culture sensation. ''WesternAnimation/CodeMonkeys'', a cartoon that parodied 1980s video game culture, went on to become a CultClassic. ''Series/NinjaWarrior'', a Japanese obstacle course game show, became the network's highest-rated show and inspired a successful [[Series/AmericanNinjaWarrior U.S-based spin-off]].

In the years since the network's demise, G4 Media continues to exist so that Comcast can maintain the [=TechTV=] and G4 program libraries. To this day, the sole surviving G4 original series is ''Series/AmericanNinjaWarrior'', which is now a staple of Creator/{{NBC}}'s Summer lineup. The network's website, [=G4TV.com=] survived for almost ''three years'' after G4's shutdown as a freemium game portal and an archive of sorts of older videos before being used as a redirect to Creator/{{Syfy}} Wire's website. Syfy's freemium gaming website, Syfy Games relaunched its news section with the G4 branding, that only lasted for a few months. As part of Syfy's 2017 rebrand, the G4 website was shutdown completely in favor of the games section of Syfy Wire. Syfy as a whole would be seen as a SpiritualSuccessor of sorts to G4 due its focus on genre programming and fandom and for being the sole remaining Comcast-owned outlet to cover such a niche.
