Indian specialist retailer Game4U has expanded its physical presence in north India with two new stores in the NCR (National Capital Region).
The new stores at MGF Metropolis Mall and Ambience Mall in Gurgaon have bolstered Game4U’s north India presence, having opened stores in Ludhiana and Jalandhar earlier.
Since opening its first store in 2010, Game4U now operates eight stores across India, including four outlets in Mumbai, besides its online store at game4u.com.
Game4U is the retail arm of Milestone Interactive Group, which is also one of India’s oldest and largest game distributors, representing publishers such as EA, Sony Computer Entertainment and Capcom.
Gaming has emerged as the fastest growing segment in the Indian entertainment space.

Game4U plans to open 50 new stores across 30 Indian cities over the next three years.
