Does EB Games Rent Games? No — But They Have Alternatives

EB Games (GameStop) does not offer traditional game rentals. The mail-in / in-store rental model died ~2010.

What They Offer Instead

• Pre-Owned Games: Buy used → return within 7 days for full refund (with receipt, unopened seal if new). Effectively a free week rental. Policy varies by region — confirm at store.
• Trade-In Credit: Sell completed games → credit toward next. "Rent" by cycling: Buy used → beat → trade → repeat. Low net cost.
• Game Pass / PS Plus Cards: Sell subscription codes (digital/physical). You buy the code → redeem on console. Not rental, but access model.
• GameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro ($25/yr): 10% extra trade credit, 10% off pre-owned, $5 monthly coupon. Pays off if you trade often.

True Rental Alternatives (2024)

• GameFly: $15.95/mo (1 disc), $22.95 (2 discs). By mail. Slow, shrinking library.
• Xbox Game Pass / PS Plus: Digital "all-you-can-play" — the modern rental.
• Local Library: Some lend Switch/PS4/Xbox games free (check WorldCat).

Verdict: EB Games = buy/trade used. For rental, use Game Pass / PS Plus / GameFly / Library.
