The gaming world may be heading to the digital space, but GameStop refuses to leave the classics behind.
The video game retail company is turning some of its stores into "GameStop Retro" locations, selling older consoles and games for old school players.
In the X announcement Tuesday, the company listed several iconic consoles, like the Wii and Xbox 360, that have become overshadowed by later models, such as the Nintendo Switch and the Xbox Series X. These locations will also sell older games from a variety of franchises, including Pokémon, Mario Kart, Halo and Grand Theft Auto.
The company has not specified how many stores will be considered retro locations and whether the shift is permanent or for a limited time only. USA TODAY has reached out to GameStop representatives for further information.

GameStop has implemented a retro store locator on its website to help customers find these spots.
Users can click "Find A Retro Store" and enter their ZIP code to find nearby locations under their specified radius.
