US-based Uber Technologies has signed a partnership with GameStop that will see the gaming retailer's products made available for delivery via Uber Eats.

The collaboration allows customers to have video games, consoles, accessories, collectibles and other electronics delivered from GameStop stores across the US, with both scheduled and on-demand delivery options on offer.

According to Uber Eats, the move forms part of a broader expansion of its retail offering, as more users turn to the app for purchases beyond food.

The company said it is “expanding its retail selection to make it easier to get everything they need – and want – with the tap of a button”.

Uber North America grocery and retail head Hashim Amin said: “Adding GameStop to Uber Eats strengthens our growing gaming and electronics selection, giving customers access to another trusted retailer they can shop with the speed and convenience they know from Uber.”

GameStop joins a growing list of retailers now selling through Uber Eats, which the company says has expanded to include thousands of stores across sectors including groceries, convenience goods, beauty, home improvement, office supplies, pet products and electronics.

The platform's retail push has included other recent additions, such as Ulta Beauty, which came on board in May this year.

That partnership brought products from over 1,500 Ulta stores onto Uber Eats across the US, spanning more than 600 brands across both mass-market and prestige beauty segments.

GameStop's partnership with Uber Eats comes as the retailer has attracted attention for its attempt to acquire eBay.

In May, GameStop submitted an unsolicited and non-binding proposal to purchase the e-commerce company in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $55.5bn, offering $125 per share.

However, eBay's board rejected the approach the same month, describing it as “neither credible nor attractive”.
