GameStop Announces “Black Friday Countdown” Sales Event

Deals on Nintendo Switch Titles, MSI Laptops, PC Bundles, and More!

Black Friday is quickly approaching and this year it is looking a little bit different. Concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic are making retailers rethink the way they handle the annual sales event with many retailers focusing online or spreading the sales out over a longer period of time to reduce the amount of foot traffic going in and out of the stores this year.
