While in earlier years GameStop has opened its shops for restricted hours on Thanksgiving night time, getting a head begin on Black Friday gross sales, it seems the retailer plans to shut for the vacation this yr.

The report comes courtesy of @videogamedeals on Twitter, who posted a picture of what appears like an inner electronic mail or communication from the GameStop staff. Among an inventory of prolonged vacation hours, the picture exhibits shops are designated to be closed for Thanksgiving day.

Prior to the pandemic, GameStop joined different shops in opening restricted hours on Thanksgiving, ranging from 3 or 4PM. In 2020, the gaming retailer selected to not open in any respect on Thanksgiving because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in 2021 just some shops had been opened on Thanksgiving day, providing restricted shares of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

No public bulletins have been made by GameStop but to substantiate or deny these vacation opening hours, and it is potential the corporate will determine to as soon as once more open some shops for restricted hours on Thanksgiving day. In earlier years, the hours had been up to date on GameStop’s web site within the lead as much as Thanksgiving, and the corporate will probably do the identical once more this yr.
