GameStop diventa GameLife

The company GameStop Global Holdings S.à rl sold all the shares of GameStop Italy Srl to Cidiverte SpA.

From GameStop to GameLife: the rebranding in progress
Over the next six months, GameStop will continue to operate under its own brand, but the rebranding is already planned: the store signs will be progressively replaced with those of the GameLife brand.
The move represents a further step in the global reorganization of GameStop, which is reviewing its strategies to face the challenges of the market, as highlighted by the CEO Ryan Cohen in the presentation of recent financial results. The American giant, based in Grapevine, Texas, has more than 4,000 stores worldwide, but the growing shift towards the digital purchase of video games has eroded its traditional sales, making a change necessary.
With the entry of Cidiverte, the Italian gaming market is witnessing an important evolution that promises to redesign the retail landscape of the sector.
