GameStop to close 410 US stores in major cost-cutting push
GameStop is shuttering about 410 US locations (with 11 more planned) as part of a broad cost-cutting plan, extending a trend of store reductions and international downsizing noted in its December 2025 SEC filing; the move comes as the retailer continues to redefine its strategy after a 2021 market surge and amid failed NFT/crypto pivots. The filing also mentions a potential payout of up to $35 billion in stock options to CEO Ryan Cohen if GameStop hits a $100 billion market cap.
