GameStop has announced a partnership with Uber Eats to allow people to order things like games and collectibles through the delivery app.
GameStop has teamed up with Uber Eats, enabling users to purchase games, collectibles, and consoles via the delivery platform. Customers can access GameStop's offerings by navigating to the 'Retail' or 'Electronics' sections within the Uber Eats app. The available products may vary by location, with options such as Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, various collectibles, and consoles like the Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Additionally, customers can order items like Red Bull cans. Similar to food orders, users can choose between immediate delivery or schedule a specific drop-off time, with real-time tracking of the delivery driver. A delivery fee of $6 is displayed on the app.
GameStop joins the list of retailers available on Uber Eats, including Best Buy, Home Depot, PetSmart, and Target. Meanwhile, GameStop's CEO Ryan Cohen is actively pursuing a potential $56 billion buyout of eBay, despite eBay's current stance against selling. Cohen is considering a hostile takeover and envisions a significant role for video games in eBay's future under his leadership. Recently, GameStop made headlines following Sony's announcement of discontinuing physical game discs by 2028. Despite concerns about the impact on GameStop's physical game sales, the company's stock price actually increased post the Sony news. This could be attributed to GameStop's evolving business focus, which now heavily emphasizes collectibles over software products.
