The GAME Group has confirmed that it has rolled out its PlayStation digital games offering to all 615 of its GAME and Gamestation stores in the UK.
Earlier this month the chain confirmed that it had rolled out its Xbox Live catalogue nationwide.
Over 40 PSN products are now available in-store including full game downloads, add-ons and PSN subscriptions.
We are delighted to be expanding PSN digital gaming into all our UK stores,” GAME’s commercial strategy director Tricia Brennan stated.
Our Reward card data shows that we are introducing new customers to digital gaming. As many digital downloads are smaller than full games, with lower prices, we are also seeing customers choosing to buy more frequently.
Our store teams are using their expertise to introduce customers to digital downloads for the first time. There has been a huge amount of interest and engagement in the PSN offering and in the weeks ahead we will bring even more great games and add-ons to the range.
SCEE’s VP of sales and planning Robert Fisser added: We’re delighted that GAME are extending their PlayStation digital offering to the entire network of GAME and Gamestation stores within the UK.
This will ensure that access to PlayStation Network continues to be as simple as possible, allowing more people to experience the incredible games and entertainment available.”
A rollout to other territories is planned at some stage in the future.
