In addition, GAME is opening a new store in Edinburgh’s Waverley Centre, following the closure of the city’s St James Centre.

There are going to be a few changes to our store portfolio in Scotland over the next few months,” said GAME stores director Dave Howard.

We remain committed to building the most valuable community of gamers across the UK and the recent store openings in London, Manchester and Southampton have really helped us to cater to an even bigger number of gamers.

"We want to be able to provide the best possible gaming destination for local gamers wherever they are, so plans are still in place to grow our presence even more in areas where there is not currently a GAME store.”
