GameStop wonโt go gently into that good, all-digital night: the company says it plans to shutter between 120 and 130 of its retail game stores worldwide by the close of its current fiscal year (which I believe ends in May, so weโre talking more or less immediately), while at the same time opening hundreds of mobile and Apple-related retail stores.
The game retailer's plan to shutter between 120 and 130 of its 6,457 stores worldwide falls into its CEO's description of "GameStop 3.0," a new phase of the company's lifespan where it will aggressively expand its footprint into gaming-adjacent tech fields
