Walmart has confirmed that they’re testing out the used videogames business. The world’s largest retailer will work with a start-up named Game Trade to set up a game store within five of their retail stores.
According to a statement, Walmart will accept trade-ins of games and other forms of entertainment for store credit or cash. Sounds like another game retailer, doesn’t it?
The company told IndustryGamers: “Walmart is always looking for new ways to help give customers more convenience and savings, and we continually test concepts with new products and businesses in stores and online.”
As for future plans, don’t start counting your trade-ins just yet: “There are no plans at this time to lease space for more locations in Walmart stores beyond these five until we understand more about customer response, which we will monitor with great interest.”
GameStop, are you sweating yet?
