This was the sixth consecutive quarterly loss for the video game retailer. GameStop launched an NFT platform in July but refrained from detailing its impact on the financials.

The Grapevine-headquartered company had $909 million in cash and equivalents at the end of its Q2, as per the earnings press release.

Other notable figures in its quarterly results include hardware and accessories sales that were down 2.0% partly offset by a 26% growth in collectibles. Software sales, however, also tanked 20% year-on-year.
