MIDDLETOWN — It will be game over for more GameStop locations after a recent sharp drop in sales.

For over a decade, the video game retailer has struggled to adapt to a changing market shifting toward digital sales and downloads. GameStop saw five CEOs leave in five years as they all failed to turn the business around.

The problems continue for GameStop.

Sales fell over 31% in Q2 2024 compared to the same time the year before, according to the most recent earnings report.

GameStop closed 287 stores in 12 months

In March, GameStop announced that it had closed 287 locations within 12 months.

The bleeding hasn't stopped yet; the video game retailer said it's closing even more stores the next time around.

"While this review is ongoing and a specific set of stores has not been identified for
closure, we anticipate that it may result in the closure of a larger number of stores than we have closed in the past few years," the company said in a recent filing.

New Jersey has around 70 GameStop stores and it's not yet known which stores will close. New Jersey 101.5 has contacted a GameStop spokesperson for more information.
