Major UK retailer to leave the high street for good as it closes remaining stores
Game will maintain online sales and concessions in over 200 Sports Direct and House of Fraser outlets after closing its last three standalone stores in April.
- In April 2026, Game will close its last three stores in Dudley, Lancaster and Sutton, ending its three-decade presence on the British high street.
- Following administrators' appointment in January, the company closed its Basingstoke headquarters in 2025 after years of site reductions.
- Despite store closures, Game will keep its online business running, while gift cards and eVouchers remain valid for two years and are UK-only.
- Managing director Nick Arran previously argued that selling physical boxed titles remained central, a stance now at odds with leaving standalone high‑street shops, signaling a strategic shift.
- Historically, Game operated more than 300 stores across the UK but will retain a physical presence inside more than 200 Sports Direct and House of Fraser stores, reshaping the UK retail landscape.
