GameFly is sending out emails to Direct2Drive subscribers that it will be moving content from the digital distribution service to GameFly, with January 23 being the last full day that Direct2Drive will be accessible. After that the service will be down for a few days while it is moved over completely to GameFly.

"We're currently moving as many game titles as possible from Direct2Drive to GameFly," the company said. "We will continue to work hard to bring ALL Direct2Drive titles to GameFly, if possible. Some older titles may take a bit longer or may not be migrated if their specs are no longer supported by today's technology. The number of these unsupported titles will be minimal, and will not impact the majority of our customers. We'll send you a separate e-mail if any of the titles you've purchased are not supported on GameFly."

"A GameFly subscription is not required to buy and download PC & Mac games," the company added. "You'll simply need to log in to GameFly with your Direct2Drive e-mail address and reset your password (if you don't already have a GameFly account). This is absolutely free, and you can do this on the GameFly website or in the GameFly Client. You may purchase a GameFly subscription if you want to rent console titles and access our library of Unlimited PC Play titles in the Client."
