Gamestop before the out: Soon all branches in Germany will complete?

Am Black Friday lists the popular video game chain Gamestop Dark Nachrichten. After over 200 branches were originally operated in Germany, only 69 shops are still active at the present time. The average discounts on consoles, games and merchandise could soon be a thing of the past, because according to unconfirmed information, all German branches should close by January 31, 2025. This worrying development has been communicated by several employees who have already informed customers about the upcoming closures, such as Gameswirtschaft reported.

The difficulties of Gamestop are a sign of change in retail, especially in the gaming sector. The company has pushed the company into the red figures for downloading games and the decline in the market for used hardware and software. In recent years, over 100 branches in Germany have had to close, and the current situation means a further setback for the remaining 500 employees of the chain. Thus, the Christmas business in 2024 is under the sign of an almost sold out magazine, such as Berlin live . Customers can get a bargain until the final sale, but the future of Gamestop in Germany looks very cloudy.

In the course of the closings, the sale of vouchers has also been set, and pre -orders are no longer possible. If the branches are actually closed, this could mark the last trains of a once celebrated starting point for gamers. With the impending not only traditional, but also locally characterized retail chain, a drastic change in the shopping behavior of customers becomes clear, since digitization continues to dominate business and the preference for digital content is growing more and more.
