“Microsoft’s Xbox One is one of the most innovative, sought after consumer electronic products of 2013,” said Bob Puzon, senior vice president of merchandising for GameStop. “With more than 700,000 of our PowerUp Rewards signed up for the Xbox One First To Know list and unprecedented pre-orders, we’re expecting huge crowds at all of our stores. From Xbox One consoles to all of the great new games and all the new accessories, GameStop has everything for the ultimate customer experience.”

Nearly two dozen first and third-party day one launch titles will be available for purchase, along with others that can be pre-ordered, all at GameStop store locations and online. Turn 10’s Xbox One-exclusive Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse®: Son of Rome from Crytek, Capcom’s Dead Rising 3 and others aim to deliver to consumers an immersive level of gameplay. In addition, GameStop is your place to load up on Xbox gift cards so you can enjoy great Xbox One digital exclusives like Killer Instinct, Lycocycle and Zoo Tycoon.
