GameStop reopens select stores nationwide amid retail downsizing.
GameStop has begun reopening select stores across the U.S. starting September 11, 2026, despite previously closing approximately 470 locations earlier this year as part of cost-cutting measures.

This move comes amid a broader industry shift toward digital gaming, with physical game media declining in popularity.
