Redbox no longer rents video games, and it will end game sales this year

Redbox is exiting the game rental business, the company confirmed to The Verge on Monday.
The company’s trademark rental kiosks have been a handy way to rent physical copies of movies (if you still have a disc drive to use to play them, that is), and they have been one of the few remaining places to rent physical copies of video games.

But if you relied on Redbox kiosks as your place to rent or even buy new PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch titles, you won’t be able to anymore. In a statement, Redbox says it is “permanently transitioning out of the games business” to focus exclusively on movies.
Some Reddit users first noticed yesterday that Redbox rental kiosks were no longer offering video game rentals, and the company confirmed on Twitter that game rentals are no longer available.

With Redbox no longer offering rentals, and the death of rental stores like Blockbuster (there’s only one left in the world), there just aren’t many local places to casually browse and rent a game anymore.

Still, there are some pretty great deals if you manage to find what you’re looking for, especially for recently released games.
