EB Games has announced it is pulling out of New Zealand entirely, marking the end of an era for the country’s physical gaming retail scene. This move leaves a noticeable gap for local gamers who have relied on the chain for new releases, pre-owned games, and gaming gear. It’s a sign of the shifting landscape, with digital sales continuing to dominate and brick-and-mortar stores struggling to keep up. While not entirely surprising given global trends, it still feels like a loss for a community that valued the in-store experience and personal connection that physical retailers provided.
