Eurogamer recently revealed the news that GAME UK will stop accepting trade-ins, and eventually stop selling pre-owned software when all existing stock has been sold. This seems to be a result of GAME wanting to streamline their till operations, now that they’re situated in Sports Directs stores as oppose to on their own premises.

It seems the GAME Elite rewards program will also end this summer.

As part of the integration of GAME, we will be phasing out the trade-in, pre-owned and Game Elite offerings in the UK over the coming months.

Pre-owned will still be available in our standalone stores across the UK while stock lasts, and Game Elite will still be available until the end of summer.

It seems for now that GAME still intend to sell physical software, including pre-orders and special edition bundles, and are just winding down their pre-owned selection.
