Tesco follows GameStop's lead, discontinues physical video games

UK supermarket Tesco will no longer stock physical video games in its 2,800 stores, citing a shift towards digital entertainment among its customers. However, digital points cards will still be available. This comes as GameStop Ireland closes all 35 of its stores, reflecting the declining demand for physical games. The UK games market has seen a rapid acceleration towards digital, with less than 18% of major game sales in June being through physical stores.
