However, according to game, these claims are completely false. “This information is categorically false,” a game spokesperson told reporters. “game continues to support the physical gaming market, offering a wide range of physical games, hardware, software, accessories and digital gift cards, in-store and online.”
This latest report follows a series of significant changes recently implemented at the retailer.
Earlier this month, it announced that it would be dropping its Xbox All Access offering. As a reminder, starting June 26, game will no longer offer the all-inclusive Xbox All Access plan to new subscribers – a service that allows consumers to pay one monthly cost for their Xbox console and includes 24 months of Xbox game Pass Ultimate.
game also confirmed that it will permanently close its rewards program and Elite membership tier next month, meaning that from July 15, customers will no longer be able to earn rewards points on purchases and will have until July 31 to spend their points before using them. you’re gone for good.
On top of these changes – as well as a series of redundancies which saw staff move to zero-hours contracts – the British retailer halted all trading in its stores in order to phase out its second-hand stock.
