Uber Eats and GameStop have launched a nationwide partnership, letting customers order video games, consoles, accessories, collectibles, and electronics directly through the Uber Eats app, according to Nasdaq. Orders can be placed for on-demand or same-day scheduled delivery from participating GameStop locations across the U.S.
The deal gives GameStop a new digital sales channel and turns its stores into local fulfillment hubs. For Uber Eats, it deepens a push into non-food retail, making the platform a broader everyday shopping destination, TipRanks reported.
How to Order GameStop Items on Uber Eats
Ordering is straightforward. Open the Uber Eats app and navigate to the Retail or Electronics section. Search for GameStop, browse the inventory of a nearby participating store, add items to your basket, and choose a delivery time, according to MarketScreener. You can then track your order in real time.
Delivery options include on-demand arrival or a scheduled time slot. Same-day delivery is explicitly available for gaming products. Rus Tourism News noted that customers can see the live inventory of a specific local GameStop store before placing an order.
GameStop Stores Become Local Fulfillment Points
GameStop's physical store network is central to how this partnership works. Each store acts as a local fulfillment point, meaning the product ships from a nearby location rather than a distant warehouse. This makes the service well-suited for last-minute purchases, new game releases, and replacement accessories, Nasdaq reported.
Collectibles are also included in the product lineup. That broadens the appeal beyond core gamers to collectors who may want a specific figure or item delivered quickly. The store-as-hub model keeps delivery times short without requiring a separate distribution network.
Uber Eats Bets Bigger on Non-Food Retail
The GameStop deal is part of a wider strategy at Uber Eats to move beyond restaurant delivery. Hashim Amin, an Uber executive, highlighted the expanded gaming and electronics selection as a key benefit for customers. The company wants Uber Eats to be a one-stop app for everyday shopping, not just food, according to TipRanks.
Adding GameStop strengthens that retail marketplace push. Electronics and gaming are high-demand categories. By partnering with one of the largest video game retailers in the U.S., Uber Eats gains instant credibility and inventory depth in the category, MarketScreener Australia noted.
Deal Terms and Store Count Remain Undisclosed
Neither company released the financial terms of the agreement. The number of participating GameStop locations was also not disclosed, according to Nasdaq. Uber may charge standard marketplace fees, but no specific figures were shared. Sales targets were not mentioned by either side.
GameStop has been working to find new revenue streams as physical game sales have declined in recent years. A partnership with a high-traffic app like Uber Eats gives the retailer digital visibility it would otherwise lack. Whether the deal moves the needle financially remains to be seen.
