Headquartered in Grapevine, Texas, the company operates over 3,200 stores across the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe under various brand names, including GameStop, EB Games, EB Games Australia, Micromania-Zing, and ThinkGeek.
Founded in 1980 as Babbage's, GameStop has evolved into the world's largest video game retailer. The company offers a wide range of products, including new and pre-owned video games, consoles, accessories, and collectibles.
Customers can purchase items online through the official website or visit physical stores for a hands-on experience.
In addition to its retail operations, GameStop has ventured into digital content and services. The company previously owned and published Game Informer, a prominent video game magazine, until its discontinuation in August 2024.
GameStop has faced challenges in recent years due to the shift toward digital gaming and online shopping. In response, the company has been exploring new business avenues, including investments in cryptocurrency.
In March 2025, GameStop announced plans to use its cash reserves to purchase Bitcoin, signaling a strategic move into the digital asset space.
As of July 2, 2025, GameStop's stock (GME) is trading at $23.95 USD, reflecting the company's ongoing efforts to adapt to the evolving gaming industry landscape.
