Learn more about the upcoming closures and find out which stores will continue to serve the area.

GameStop is scaling back its presence in the Capital Region, with multiple closures underway. According to the Times Union, the GameStop store on Delaware Avenue has already shut its doors, while the location at The Shoppes of Greenbush Commons is set to close this Saturday. Additionally, GameStop stores in Latham and Troy are expected to close in the coming weeks.

However, GameStop locations at Crossgates, Clifton Park, and Rotterdam are expected to remain open, continuing to serve customers in the area.

GameStop, once a beloved cornerstone of the gaming community, is facing financial challenges as more physical locations close down without public announcements. Former employees and customers are expressing frustration over the lack of transparency in the store closures. Many gamers are reminiscing about the old days of browsing shelves for games and midnight releases. Questions remain about clearance sales and preorders at closing locations, leaving uncertainty about the future of GameStop in the US.
